Good heavens, it's been more than two years since this thread, but the threatened transformation has finally come to pass.

An $18 Goodwill mink stole. . .

a trip to Tandy and my personal supply stash for things such as this. . .

a cantle from UTKilts, advice on stitching from helpful folks on this forum, and some hours/days/weekends of labor later. . .


It's definitely a "six foot sporran" (don't want to examine too closely) but it beats the fuzzy bunny Pakistani version that Bob's been wearing for the last several years. I built in some pockets for cell phone and his flat "sporran wallet," plus a clip for keys.


and it will make its debut next weekend at our clan's dinner dance! In-use photos will come from that gala event.
