Okay, so some time ago, I worked on my first sporran using leather from an old purse I picked up at a thrift store. Thread can be read here: http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/m...x.html?t=37435

I've never worn it as is. I have some nice sporrans and I didn't at all care for it. It was a project intended to learn something (mainly how to hand-sew leather.)

Recently, I've been practicing braiding techniques. I've used leather laces for this practice. I got bored and started reworking my old sporran. I think I've made quite an improvement. It's still rustic looking, but a far cry better than before. I might mention that I only used a leather awl and laces, to punch holes and hand tied the laces. Not really easy (and I'm not sure quite how sturdy it will be!) But let me know what you think.
