Leather Possibles Bags and Whangies

[Danceswithhelicopters]

Check out this great scottish website and look for the period Sporrans, belt pouches and 'whangs'

Feel tempted with the Great Kilt as natural outdoor gear!

ok , a WANG is a korean computer, but what the .... is a WHANGIE????:?:

 

[ronsos]

a whangie is a hybrid haggis-poor eating , shoddy pelt and fit only for random acts of cruelty.we dont talk about them much.

 

[jakunen]

Ok, enough with the jokes ya sassanach!

My Clan is from the northern highlands so I can (probably) call ye that.

I KNOW what a haggi are, (had a lovely one for Burns), so what IS a whang?

 

[Toddy]

I make sporrans like some of those. Anyone want a pattern? Taken from a sporran worn at Culloden. It makes a really good pouch, and it explains why there are those three wee dangly bits on the front of sporrans.

A whang is a slice, a leather strap.....The Whangie is a hill..... :?:

There are excellent sporrans on this site too

Surely a sporran is no more than a Highland possibles pouch with a bit more decoration?

Indeed, some "traditional" Highland kit is probably well-suited to bushcraft as long as you have your skean dhu (spelling?) down your sock for any whittling jobs.

That said, you won't catch me wearing a kilt anytime soon in the woods. If I remember correctly, there are at least fourteen MacDonald tartans and I wouldn't know which one to wear for the occasion.... :Crazy_071

Okay, found the pattern, but it runs to six pages of A4 and that's without photos. :11doh:

Help!!??
What's the best way to post this?

Toddy

 

[Toddy]

Can I get some advice on posting patterns please? The pattern and instructions for the sporran runs to 6 pages of A4 plus some photos. The pattern for the woollen shirt is on one page A4. The patterns are handwritten with diagrams. I can scan or take a photo with a digital camera but how best to post??? :?:

Toddy

 

[Danceswithhelicopters]

Try a page scanner-Save each page as a file and bundle them all together as a larger file to download. Photos won't be clear enough.

 

[Toddy]

This isn't working :roll: .....the individual files add up to 29MB, and the zip file is still 14.1MB. I'll contact Kath or Adi and seeif they can suggest something. :?:

Just before the crash, Toddy sent me the pattern for her Sporran, if anyone's interested I have converted it to a pdf document. PM with an email address and I can email it back to you.

A while ago, someone pmed me about having a copy of the sporran pattern from Toddy. Stupidly I managed to delete all my pms if this rings a bell, could you re-pm me please.

Cheers
