Thanks! Yep, some time this spring/summer I decided I wanted to make a sporran so I started looking on-line for some information. That lead me simultaneously to this site and to Tandy Leather. With a combination of reading every sporran thread here and going to some classes at Tandy I've managed to put this together. And got bitten by the leather-working bug. I have a crate of tools now (all beginner stuff but I can see where I will be upgrading tools along the way).

I don't think I'd be able to sew a kilt from scratch but I'll be able to make a lot of the stuff to go with one!
