Please Help! Looking for leather to make a sporran

[bricelythgoe]

I bought a cheap brief case one time for about $15 and used the very supple leather for a project.

Think outside the box, i.e., other possibilities than the standard leather suppliers who tend to be quite pricey.

I think that is what I am going to do. I never thought of doing that before. I am going to look at the local online classfieds for some things! THanks!

I am making a traditional sporran, not the Rob Roy type. But I acctually did what you all said. I found a used sporran for pretty cheap and I am going to use its main body of leather and just adjust the gusset a little bit. I found it for 10 dollars. Thought that might work. I have a really nice tanned skunk pelt that I am going to be putting on it in the next week. So we will see how it goes.

Thanks to everyone for helping me! I never would have known what to do without your help! I really appreciate the support I have recieve here.
