The easiest way to get a pattern is :
1.cruise the stores on the internet
2.download a picture of a sporran you like
3.print it off
4.enlarge it to the size you want
5.make sure that the top curve of the sporran is enlarged enough
to fit the cantle
6.glue the enlarged picture to a piece of file folder
7. cut it out
8. you have a pattern
you can cut the gusset to you desired with
I use a 4-5oz cow hide for the front and back
I'm no expert at making sporrans but this works for me

making the tassels depends on wether you them to look like balls of fur or the fringe looking type
I'm just starting another one with a muskrat fur front
I'll try to get pictures posted as I work on it
