POPPI oficios / POPPI jobsGallery
POPPI the lawyer, in her gown, with a white jabot at her neck and the scales of justice stitched on her hat, made to have a name stitched underneath. She is 70 x 110 stitches in 8 colors, and the widest of the series so far: both hands are busy, the law book in one and the briefcase in the other.
She works well in a small frame for the office, on a laptop sleeve or on the front of a folder. Pick a font from the Collection, type the name in Puntotek and set it under her feet. For the day she is sworn in, or for a first office of her own, something stitched by hand with her name on it outlasts any expensive gift.
