I guess you could say easy stitched. The method I used to assemble the whole sporran is the same. I used my leather punch on it's smallest setting to punch holes at regular intervals into all three pieces of leather. Then I used waxed hemp string (it works, it doesn't look bad, and I was able to procure 250 YARDS of it for US$0.00) to stitch it together. I believe that kind of stitching is referred to as "saddle stitching." The circular impressions are from the "anvil" on the leather punch.

Well... I've kind of started myself a small business. I've actually been making kilts and sporrans to sell. I haven't mentioned it here on XMarks because there are so many other vendors. I can't produce the volumes that these other vendors can, mainly because I only get 3 or 4 hours per night to work on kilts or sporrans. Right now, my clientele is predominately rennies.
Anyway, I've named my business "CroMag Kilts." The "glyph" you see is my logo:

I'm glad you like it... I designed the thing myself.
