POPPI oficios / POPPI jobsGallery
POPPI the teacher, with her stack of books, her apple and even her blackboard, made to have a name stitched underneath. And here the name matters more than anywhere: she is the one you stitch for the teacher at the end of term.
69 x 112 stitches and 9 colors, a touch bigger than the other POPPIs because the blackboard takes up room. Pick a font from the Collection, type the name in Puntotek and place it under her feet: with the name on it, she stops being a pattern and becomes theirs.

Suggested fabric: white.
