Plains Medicine Pouch:
This Plains Indian styled medicine pouch is the type
of pouch used to carry their own personal medicine around their neck. Personal
medicine could be anything which holds meaning to them, such as a herb, an
animal fetish, a special rock they found while on a vision quest, etc. It is
compact size of up to about 2.5" x 3.5" with up to a 3" fringe.
The fringe shown here is cut in a "V" shape, but that can be done in
any way you wish (samples are included with the Free instructions).
The one pictured here is decorated with an Abalone
button and a Turquoise nugget in it's center. You can decorate it anyway you
wish, or leave it plain, as most men did. It should be made of a soft leather
which is also fairly thin, either full grain or suede, which can be sewed
easily by hand.
Your FREE pattern and instructions explains the sizing
options and method of cutting your leather and fringe, as well as how to make
your tie strap. You should note that even though using the same leather for the
neck strap as you use for the body of the pouch looks good, the strength could
be an issue, especially since you don't want something over bulky for the body
of the pouch. This is why we are including the decorative option below of using
our 3mm suede lacing (pictured here). You may also wish to use our 2mm round
lacing, which is stronger, but not as nice looking.
