Leather Pouch Patterns

[Durnic]

I have been scouring the internet for some patterns to be able to make my own leather pouches. I have tons of leather and leatherworking tools so I figured why should I shell out $50 - $60 for a pouch when I can make one at home, right?

I found this site which has links to a pattern but I was hoping for more of a box shape instead of a scallop shape. Does anyone have any good recommendations?

We are looking at making pouches with this general shape:

After more searching I've managed to find this pattern: http://i.imgur.com/ByHvI.png

I'm still hoping some of you have experience or suggestions.

Looking at the construction, it's just one continuous rectangle of leather and then two long ovals on the sides. At 6 1/2" across, 5" tall and 1 1/2" deep... assuming 1/4" lip for sewing the leather together, a 2 1/2" overhanging lip ... *geometry mode activate!* You need a rectangle 6 1/2" x 17 1/4", and two pieces that are rectangles 2" wide, 5" long, and one end has a 1" radius half circle. Included is a not to scale measurement guide.

Looks like you found a good pattern for a flat bottom bag while I did this. The included pattern is for a rounded bottom bag.
