Old Pouch Friday: Heart Shaped Pouch


Here is a nice representation of a Heart Shaped Pouch made from calfskin. It is accompanied by an original horn. You can see good wear and repairs on the edge of the curved flap and along the stitching near the button closure. Note how the priming horn is hung from a leather thong. I hang most of the priming horns that I attach to a pouch in this manner. Pouch also features small game straps.

Again, this year, as for many years in the past, I will be teaching at the ARTS & ARMS MAKING WORKSHOP at Conner Prairie.

This is a great opportunity to learn how I make a hunting pouch. By the end of this 2 1/2 day class, you should be able to walk out with a finished Hunting Pouch using my instruction. During the class, My teaching will include pattern development, applying the pattern to the leather, cutting the leather, sewing AND... How I antique a pouch and make it look old.
