Sporran #2: Tweed and Duck Canvas - Finished

Well, that turned out great.

I always start at the bottom and work my way up on both sides on the gusset. Another trick is to use a thin bead of Fabri-Tac inside the stitch line to hold things in place before you sew when pins are not an option.

Thanks for the tip!

It turned out very well. I'm following your posts on tweed sporrans and must say I like idea very much. Regarding slight skew (and any other possible small errors); in Slovenia we say: "It can't be noticed from a plane and the boat can't get close enough!" Usually those small errors can hardly be noticeable, usually only author or product see them or very keen eye of other experienced master.

Good work and thanks for idea (again).

Thanks for the vote of confidence! I wore it to the Alma Highland Festival this weekend. One of the vendors complimented it. At first, he though I was holding two tweed flat caps to purchase and was bit surprised when the second cap turned out to be my sporran instead. I was also a bit surprised the price for the cap had doubled!
