Modifying a Nightstalker

[LadyGriffin]

My BF LOVES his Stillwater Nightstalker sporran. he just wished it was "spiced up" a notch. The modifications we came up with were done at Kevin Kinney's shop up in Duluth this summer. This could have been done by hand, but we used Kevin's wonderful sewing machine collection!

OK - to the process:
1) I traced the parts I wanted to cover in fur
2) I cut those pattern pieces out and traced them on fur. We used cow hide.
3) Cut out the hide parts being VERY careful not to cut off the fur edges.
4) Sew them in place.

NOTE: Make SURE you do not sew through all layers of the sporran, just sew the hide to the part you want covered. Under the flap, on the main body of the sporran, I sewed the pocked closed by mistake and had to rip the seam out and re-sew the hide under the velcro only.
