Second Day Sporran in a series
This is a new Day sporran I've just completed. I used a woven belt I bought at the Salvation Army Store for the braid, attaching it to the front of the bag I made from scratch out of some scrap leather. The fur detail is recycled seal from a coat.
The leather was very soft and plyable, so I build it up in three layers for the back and two layers for the gusset. The front I left with just one layer as the braidwork is quite stiff and gives it the support it needs. All the seams are hand sewn and then covered with a leather trim piece that is glued into place to hide the sometimes shoddy stitch work. The bag is very flexable and opens to a full 3" in depth. When empty, it will come down to a 1" thickness. I added the bone button to match it up with my last Day Sporran. See photos attached.
