I was just looking through Buckskinning III and there is a chapter on pouches by Madison Grant. While there are no patterns per se, there are a lot of photos of original pouches and drawings of different styles/types/variations and also a good write up on how to make them. He says that it is difficult to identify locations the pouches were made unless accompanied by the original rifle and that the pouches were probably not made by the rifle builder.

Book VI is the one you probably want. It has a 30 page article on bag construction, styles, supplies, sewing, patterns, etc. The same volume has a great piece on powder horn construction and decoration as well.
