ALthough I've made a couple of possibles bags from scratch ( leather hide cut to pattern, sewn, etc),
I made this one (BELOW) by converting a leather woman's shoulder bag/purse - and also made the short starter and the ramrod (from an orange fiberglas rod, shortened & capped)
I've also made patch knives and cap boxes (from a section of thick antler, cored & plugged)
