Speaking of making sporrans...

Looks like a nice start. I'd burnish the edges on the flap though, for a more finished look. The back/flap piece appears to be about 4-5 oz veg tan. You could forego a closure device by just wet forming the flap. I made a leather box for a sewing/repair kit I carry with my reenacting gear. It's made of the same weight leather. I wet formed the flap, keeps itself closed nicely.

Actually, the front and back pieces are 9oz veg tan. Thick stuff. I have since purchased a good amount of 5 ounce stuff... looks a lot better.

As for the flap... it is wet formed. I mainly want a closure on there for aesthetic reasons.

Looking good-more than I could do

Thanks.

You have my congrats from one diyer to another. Looks like great work, I hope to try making one myself soon. Thanks for the inspiration.

My pleasure. Really. Working with leather is rather relaxing.

I did manage to hose up sporran #3's gusset. I have plenty of leather, so I can fix it easily enough.
