That's the diagram I used to put this sporran together.

Yeah, right...a leather jacket from the Goodwill store for less that fresh leather from a supplier. If you find any that fit that description let me know, I had to join Tandy Leather company to get leather cheaper than Goodwill.

Maybe there's yet another advantage to living in Chicago...there are an awful lot of used leathers in the resale stores. Last time I looked at the Salvation Army store the leather jackets and coats filled a whole rack...a lot of them were beat to hell but for this purpose the areas that had long pieces of leather like the back didn't look like they had as much wear...prices ran from 5 or 6 bucks for the really beat up to twenty for the ones that were in decent shape...the beat up ones having, as I said, useable expanses on the backs. Seems like a better possibility for someone who might knock up only one or two sporrans than having to buy a whole skin from a supplier.

Maybe the folks in LA don't go through as many leathers as they do here...or mayvbe they just get buried in their leathers so they don't end up in the resale storres.

I hope it's the one your looking for.

Southern Breeze, thanks for the pointer. The diagram is a step in the right direction. Now I have a mission to hit the thrift stores looking for leather. I don't know about the eyeballs though, I found some commercially made face sporrans. The eyes look kinda goofy

You're probably 100% right there, most folks would only wear leather only occasionally here. did see in a used clothing store in Hollyweird a full length womans Seal Skin coat. They were asking $125.00 for it and I am considering buying it just to make a few sporrans from it. The laws says that I must get a note from the store, seller, that says that I bought it as a used coat from them so the skin will be legal to have.
