Right, time for pictures of the embroidered pouch progress. It could wait til I had the drawstring and tassels done, but I am still thinking about that.

I have photos of the WCOB Pelican cloak badge, but haven't posted those as not certain protocals there (though dragonermine has now seen it, so it can be posted off now).
