    Following a previous post by Artificer, I used Dritz Sew-On Snaps, size 10/21mm, brass snaps. Unfortunately, I could not find a way to purchase only the "female" half of the snaps, even from Dritz/Prym.

    reply to "1st attempt at a sporran bag, for MOD brass cantle

    Looks great to me. I really like the color of the leather. Might have to see about getting ahold of one of those cantles.

    I used elk skin, from Tandys, for the outer bag, & red pigskin suede, for the inner bag/lining.

    Good looking bag you have made there, love the colour. Just a point, I don't know if it has been noted before, the original MoD bags had a piece of cardboard, about 2-3mm thick, 20mm wide and 170mm long that kept the shape at the bottom and lower sides of the bag. It was slid between the the front and rear facings along the gussett. I have had a number of bags made for me and use a plastice stip cut from the lid a 4 litre icream container. Of course the width dimensions may differ depending on how wide your gussett is. Cheers and well done, look forward to seeing more of your work.
