Sporran Help

Recommended Posts

hi all! first i wanna say GREAT work from all of you! very inspring! im looking to make my first sporran and im really not sure where to begin. i've made alot of belt pouches for LARPing and i was wondering if you guys could maybe point me in the right direction as to where to start? its going to be a showpiece ( i hope) but more experimentation than anything any help would be appreciated guys!

Well I guess that would depend on what 'style' you are looking to make...

There are 2 to my knowledge;

1. Rob Roy style

2. "modern" style.

The Rob Roy is pretty much like a "sack" where the "modern" style is reminiscent to a muzzle loader's 'possibles' bag.

The Rob Roy has the flap that you can carve, looks like this one I made:

Or MUCH better versions found here:

and the "modern" version looks like this absolute piece of beauty [NOT mine]:

That latter sporran is just gorgeous and would wear it in half a heartbeat.

I'm currently making a "modified" rob roy sporran as shown on this pdf file. Pretty simple, so far.

thanks for the input guys, both of those seem like they would be fairly easy to make. the second one especially reminds me of a larp belt pouch in construction the main difference being the hook for the closure is down on the bottom and the actual pouch part of the sporran looks like its deeper and a little more narrow hmmmmm now i have something to think about whilst at work today! :specool:

thansk hive. those are ALOT like the belt pouches i make for larps. the main thing i see thats different ( and i cant believe i havent thought of it before) that i love is that your flap actually is alot shorter which looks very very good. mine actually shuts in the same place but the actual flap comes down alot further

The flap is utterly changeable. Sometimes I add some fur, different shapes, raggedy look, whatever.
