Of course, I have all that stuff lying around and have a serious penchant for making silk purses out of sow's ears, so the grand total of my investment would be $3 and a few hours of labor.

I think it's worth a go, Matty.
If the work and modification is something that you would enjoy, then sure. Go for it. Repurposing can be thrifty and enjoyable. (At least one modern kilt-maker out there does that for their fabric.)

If you were not doing that ... then I would lean towards no.

That being said, Troop 7 has patterns for making sporrans out of cardboard and cloth. ( http://www.troop7.net/Resources/6.%2...%20Pattern.pdf ) With a little work the purse would be nicer than that one.

If you think it works, then you have your answer :-)

Just remember, if you ever get into an argument, always try walking a mile in the other person's shoes. Because, when you're done with that walk you're a mile away and they're barefoot.

Happy Crafting and Making!
