cheers fellas really appreciate the comments here. iv'e got to say i do not enjoy making 'modern' styled sporrans like this but atleast i could put some tooling into it and make it unique. once xmas is over and i have some free time i will be making more of the soft sporrans based on the culloden pattern. was given a load of brown and red seude the other day and have tons of beautiful honey coloured leather too for vibrant bags should be fun
