I agree. The only sporran I've made is about as simple a sporran as there ever was, and it still took me a few hours to stitch together!

Making some of the wonderful pieces of art that I've seen around here must take a huge ammount of time and effort to craft.... also, I find that hand made sporrans are generally better, not only in craftsmanship, materials, and exotic touches, but also in design! For a while there, it seemed like the only well made, roomy, good looking, semi-production made sporran that was available for a low price were the Buzz Kidders. They're still my sporran of choice, for casual and everyday wear.
