POPPI oficios / POPPI jobsGallery
POPPI fitness, with a heart stitched on her hat, a rolled mat on her back and her sneakers on. She is 57 x 109 stitches in 10 colors: the narrowest of the series, because her arms stay close to her body, and still exactly as tall as the rest. Ten colors is more than any of the others so far, and nearly all of them go into the sneakers and the mat.
She works on a gym bag, a mat carrier or a small towel. Pick a font from the Collection, type the name in Puntotek and set it under her feet. This one is among the best of the series as a gift between friends: almost everybody has one who never misses her class.
