A New Patten Soft Construction Hunting Sporran

[JSFMACLJR]

Thank you! I'm hoping to do "Lantern" or "Ball" (I'm not sure that the pattern has an actual name, at least I can't find one) style tassel on another one of these in the not too distant future. From the X-Marks thread HERE.
Pic is just for the tassel pattern, as it's the only one I can find.

On standard 'hard' hunting sporrans the 'arc' of leather is just an applied decoration laid over the targe (also a decoration), the stiff leather underneath provides the actual structure.

On these soft bodies the construction is a bit of a proprietary secret.
