Lochac Arts & Sciences Champion Pouch
In AS49 (2014) Lady Ydeneye de Baillencourt (now THL Violetta Vasari) became the Lochac Arts & Sciences Champion. It is traditional for the A&S champion to be given an embroidered pouch to mark their achievement.

I chose a lovely dark blue velveteen fabric to make a pouch in a shape similar to one that Ydeneya had admired. The pouch was lined with white silk.
The A&S candle within an arch was worked in split stitch with Madeira silk on a linen ground. These were then appliqued to the velveteen pouch. The stars were embroidered directly on the pouch and 4 gold spangles added for extra bling!
The champion’s pouch also has the year embroidered on the back, so I embroidered the date with stem stitch directly onto the pouch, and then added three bells to the bottom edge.
At this stage I realised that when the pouch is closed, the front flap does not sit nicely, so I then added heavy gold beading around the edge. This not only added enough weight to help it sit nicely.
