I wanted a small pouch/bag that can hold medications, fire-starting tools, smokes - whatever.
I made it so that when the draw strings close the pouch mouth, it can be suspended from a waist/belt, or possibles bag strap, etc, etc.
I hand sewed it up from some tanned buckskin I had on hand, loosely patterned it after a Western Apache Medicine pouch I had seen.

I laid several different designs out on paper first, then copied (not traced) this design choice (a mix of the design features I drew) freehand onto the buckskin with a pencil.
I have several small bottles of fabric paints & dyes from a craft store, and a pack of small artist's brushes.
I cut the brush bristles at an angle with a razor blade, filled in the various areas with color, and did the black outlines with the thinnest brush tip I had.
Then, after everything dried, I stained the bright yellow buckskin (chrome tanned ? ) & the design with a brown gel stain, wiped off when still wet for an "antique" effect.

Kevin, There is another leather store in Spokane besides Tandy. I am sure you can Google for the name and address.
