from blessedly chilly South Carolina. Keep up the good work! Many of us would wear your first effort as it is, and I'm sure you'll only get better.
Please come out to some events where the kilted folk assemble, and you'll get an idea how we use our sporrans. There are a couple of threads you may find by searching, where Xmarkers posted photos of their sporrans' contents...
Here is one--enlightening, and sometimes frightening. 
Normally a belt-loop like yours is a bit wider, as others have noted, and may be used with a short strap connecting 2 D-rings. So if your sporran strap or chain has snap-links on the end, the little strap just connects them. Some sporrans come with one.
One neat idea I've seen on a Buzz Kidder sporran, is two loops (distributing the load as one very wide one would do) with a D-ring at the top of each.
Again, welcome, and we look forward to seeing more of your work.
