Very interesting thread
My first was a black semi-dress (leather with a silvered metal flap knot), with tassles
Second was an economy brown with tassles. I added a Royal Engineers cap badge (I was in the US Army Engineers)
Then I got started making my own, mostly because I didn't lilke the tassles banging around and also because I wanted to take up leather work again.
Third was my first attempt, seen here:
Currently I have the following:


Recently I bought a dress sporran, white fur with 3 black tassles, but I don't have a picture yet.
That makes seven if I count correctly. I'm thinking of making two more for myself, another black with a rampant lion, and I need a black with a welsh dragon like this one but in red:

I don't think I'm up to the skill level of some others like Donnie, Turpin or Freelander, but I'm very pleased with how the last one turned out. I've made about 30 so far. Given away several as gifts and sold some. I'm not trying to compete with the X marks sponsors. It's just a hobby for me.
There are a lot of super designs out there that I would like to try, but I decline to use images that are copyrighted for items for sale. I do make up some things on scrap leather just to see how they turn out.
I hope this thread continues. There is a lot of nice work out there.
