I googled "elvin quiver" last night. It looks like it would be an easy style to copy. Build one first with heavy paper or poster board to make a pattern.

Very simple to make your own pattern from paper. My rover pattern is made from sheeting steel with all the holes drilled. Kind of hard to fold up and pop in the mail.

Elven quiver: Id say make a tube with the seam towards the users back to hide it, then print out a pattern for the fancy scroll patterns and trace it onto some other leather. I guess stitching and maybe smaller lacing would looker better for such a quiver.
Be sure to share pictures of whatever you end up making!

Leather shoe laces. 1 pr rawhide shoelaces will do 2 quivers easily. A small set of leather hole punches is faster for the holes. The hand squeze belt hole tool is a waste of time on heavier leather. Wet the leather first. That makes punching holes and the fold overs easier. 6-7 oz works. These are Hill style which are bigger than what you're looking to make. As suggested above, make a poster board mock up with holes marked. I didn't use a pattern so it's not that hard.

For hand stitching with a saddle stitch you'll need something to punch the stitching holes. I use a stitching chisel made with 3, 4 or 8 points for punching the stitching holes and a mallet to hit the chisel. I use the end grain of a red oak stump as my work surface when punching the holes to protect the chisel points. The saddle stitch uses 2 needles, one on each end of the thread. Push a needle through the hole and center the thread then push one needle through the 2nd hole from one direction, the other needle from the opposite direction and pull tight and so on down the stitch line. If one thread ever breaks the second thread holds it together. I use waxed dacron thread or waxed linen thread along with harness needles(blunt point). A few back stitches at the end of the stitch line will lock it in place. Tandy's has supplies or a local saddle shop or probably where you ordered your leather.

For the kids (a petite 22 year old and a very tall 11 year old) I found a pattern that fits what I'm looking for. I purchased it, so can't share it here, but here's the link.

Interesting construction, the strap is woven through the body of the quiver and that's what holds it together. We will see how that goes, easy enough to add stitches if it doesn't feel secure enough. I have some gold buckskin for the trim, will dye and decorate the cuff around the opening. Hope to give you pictures soon!
