We introduce you our ugly duckling. We used the same pattern to make a gymnastics
bag a couple of times before, but this is the first one I really don’t like!
Surely if you compare it with my favorite one, the current one is not pleasing
to the eye. We still can’t blame the pattern but all the more the choice of
fabric. But as the saying goes ‘des goûts et des couleurs ne disputent pas’,
and our -meanwhile– five year old daughter was delirious with joy when she
finally got her personal gymnastics bag!
The bag is entirely made of fabric and
colors of her own choice. Her name on the top is flocked in her handwriting and
my sole input is the stars on either side of her name.
During the photo
shoot she is showing off her new bag by putting it on her head, around her neck
and in many more funny positions.
When I ask her to hold it in a ‘normal’ way
for a couple of pictures she immediately turns into a ‘not happy’ mood.
I honestly
doubted strongly if I wanted to sew my label in, but I ended up adding it; nice
or not nice it at the end it is a Curl Up creation!
