yup, easier on the sewing machine though than hand stitching, lol. The dimensions are ruffly 9" across the the top, 8" from top to bottom, and 3" gusset.

Wow, that is super duper fast! Do you think you could do the same thing with a supple leather?

I'm actually in the process of making my 2nd out of supple elk for the body and a heavier cow leather for the flap/back reinforcement and the front reinforcement pieces. If I wasnt gettin ready to leave thursday for rendezvous I could whip it out in probably 3-4 hours depending on how many breaks i take to rest my fingers. At some point there should be a pic of the 1st one in these threads or ya can look at my photo album to see the 1st leather sporran i made.

I don't know if that qualifies for Guiness, but you definitely earned a Guiness!

int: It looks pretty darn good too. I think it will look awesome after getting a bit of dye treatment.

Thanks Whidbey, Hopefully I'll have it dyed by thursday so I can take it to the woods with me.

Well I now have a new reason to make a couple more canvas sporrans. My 11yr old daughter took this one to use as a belt pouch at rendezvous since she doesnt have any pouches other than her haversack. I tried to give her an old pouch I made for hiding my camera but she decided the new one would look nicer on her belt. I dont even get to finish dying it,

. Oh well. Since we got alot of our packing done tonight i'll try to whip out a couple tomarrow evening.

I made a denim one a while ago, it took me more than half an hour though, I was putting pleats in it and had to make sure they came out even. The engineer in me had to pull out a ruler for that, haha
