a pouch with a little Eiffel tower

A good friend of mine was celebrating

a big birthday this week 

so I had to make her a little present:

a sweet pouch with a little Eiffel tower!

I used linen and Liberty of London,

and a little tag for the back:

I use the pattern from "Diary in Stitches" by Minki Kim,

but chose a different applique that is not in the book:

and a little hand embroidery,

I know my friend is dreaming of going to Paris one day...

So I also added some Eiffel tower print in the inside!

The binding is actually a premade binding, I think it is Japanese,

it is linen with some little Parisian details!

It makes me want to go visit....

Happy sewing!
