Synthetic sinew is great for sewing leather.
For leather pattern, it's really straight forward. You can either just cut a large circle and use some leather cord to synch it up, or get more elaborate and cut/sew the leather.
Your call, what's the end goal? How much effort do you want to put into it?

A few tips for you to save you some hassle in stitching and various other things. I don't know what your experience level is, so no insult intended if this is painfully obvious.
* Lay out the placement of your holes beforehand, then use an awl (or roofing nail) to pre-punch them.
*Since you'll need to flip the pouch inside out after sewing, definitely make sure to make the opening is a little larger than you think it needs to be. Leather can be a bitch to try and reverse in this way.
*Synthetic sinew, as anon already recommended, should work quite well for you. If you can't get ahold of that, linen thread of similar thickness should work just as well. Just make sure to add a bit of beeswax to it before beginning. This is done by pinching the thread between your thumb and a block of wax and pulling it along the length. Helps keep your stitches locked in really well.
*Also, having leather working needles is quite nice as well. Those, as well as the wax and sinew you need, should be findable at most craft stores. Alternatively, search for a Tandy Leather in your area. They will have anything and everything you need.
*Afraid I don't actually have a pattern, but it's pretty simple. Just use Google to get some ideas.
Use animal scrotums

finding the leather is the hard part.
Just a circle will work, its a little bulky around the edges but it works.

Nothing wrong with a leather pouch, but as soon as you hang that shit from your belt and start thinking it's middle earth then you have to go Frodo, we can't be friends no more because you just went full autist!!

OP where do you source your scrotums?
Was thinking of doing the same.
