Our four
eldest children do gymnastics. So they have to wear a gymnastics leotard; an item
that is not easily purchased around here.
As Tahir
imported perfect leotard fabric I decided to make their gymnastics outfit
myself.
I will not disclose
the results just yet, the leotard pictures are for later this week...
First I
present you the gymnastics bag that goes with it.
A cute little
bag for our ‘star’ gymnasts. Just the right size to store two small bottles of
water and a snack for during the break.
I prefer a
round gymnastics bag instead of a flat one; besides following the guidelines of
THE book it was very easy to make. We chose to make the version with the pocket
on the inside, to tuck money aside.
This
macho bronze fellow (A Askalany) could wrap it around its neck before the kids got hold of
it.
The
beautiful blue fabric (Melody Sketch – Nani Iro) was bought at Mondaysmilk, an
online fabric shop with a superefficient and friendly service.
The
website noted that the fabric is DOUBLE GAUZED, I did not notice this mention
when I ordered the fabric and anyway I would not have known what it meant. I do
now!
Double
gauzed means that the fabric consists of two different layers attached to each
other by means of small invisible stitches. It might seem difficult to stitch
with, the way I describe the fabric. Nothing is further from the truth, I did
not hamper me in any way, long life Japanese perfection.
I bought the
cotton yellow biais binding at Vermiljoenshop.
The
pictures are made in ArtSawa Gallery in Al Quoz.

not forget to join this blog if you want to give it a try to win this fabric.
