    I have found when leather working that working with paper "mock up" first saves one lots of time and materials in the long run. When you get the paper one right you take it apart and use it as a pattern for the leather.

    Believe it or not, the very first Freelander Sporran prototype was made out of a plastic garbage bag and a Spiderman party plate!

    Cheers
