First Selfmade Dress Sporran

[gairloch]

Your resolve not to use the macrolon suggests you've decided that the bag is too stiff. Is that the case?

Hi,
Turpin,

yes I think the front and back piece are too stiff in my opinion. And the Macrolon plate ist still too big. I've should left 2cm of space for stiching. That's the reason why the side gussets bend outwards instead of inwards. It is too stiff to bend to the inside.
But it is not a realy big of a problem. I take it as just another style of sporran sides.

The side gussets are without Macrolon plates and are made of much thinner leather with only the fur on the outside and the lining on the inside. That's ok.

I'll keep this dress sporran for an example for a first try.
As it allways is--the second try will solve the first problems.

Next projects are the making of 2 scottish / english longbows and a semi-dress sporran out of a skunk fur.

Thanks a lot for comments.
