Artificer, I have to ditto what Downunder Kilt wrote. Your choice of leather is superb, and the petals/pinch pleats are going to look really nice.

BTW, I kind of intende the word "tassel" above to include petals. I own both types of hunter sporrans, and the use of either can really make a sporran, dpending on how they're designed. Yours are going to be really nice, I think.

What color will the finished produc be? Light brown I suppose? Rather like the--is it pigskin?--leather on HRH's sporran. (I have lusted after that one ever since I first saw it.)
