WIP Sporran #5 (hunting)- from the very start

[artificer]

Anyway, I have been cutting some paper models and find even with paper there is a lot of bunching because of the folds on the front face. I tried just cutting v shapes out to get rid of the bulk but it ruins the shape of the folds. Is this just the paper or will the leather do the same thing?

Thanks

rtc, welcome to the 'petal fold'. I could try and explain my frustration with figuring the pattern out, but it's best to look back at the blog.
In the end I had 4 patterns for the one piece. Cut size, skiving pattern, one for the size and depth of the folds, and one as a 'finish size' pattern.

Leather WILL be worse than the paper, I'm sorry to say.

Nice work, BTW, if I forgot to mention it before... ;c)

Thank you!
