    I really like it . The tartan looks interesting I like that also.

    Did you use a pattern, or Barb's book. A nice job, is it hand stitched or was it done on a machine.

    All in all looks good. I can hardly wate to attempt one of my own.

    Howdy all

    Thanks every body for your nice compliments.. I did it on a sewing machine.
    ,, no pattern just from seeing them and photos of them. As for the sporran it started life as a bullet pouch,, But I like it for it is roomier than the store bought one.
    And here is a photo of some i made for my nephews

    You made those just by looking at kilts??

    If I had a book, a pattern and an onsite mentor I couldn't make one so my hat is off to you.
