First, please excuse the poor image quality. I took this with my PC camera - not the most advanced equipment, but I have to make do.

This is the reason for my lack of blog posts, and my silence on social networking sites.
Past few weeks I've been developing a singlet, customised singlet, for Kulsoom. She has been registered to compete for Pakistan in the weightlifting championships next month in Paris. We were not sure if anyone or any organisation was going to send her a kit, so at the last minute we decided to do something to highlight the fact that a muslim sportswoman would be competing for Pakistan in the weightlifting championships. Certainly a remarkable feat!

It was a challenge as it had certain modest specifications but had to look like a singlet, which is usually tight fitting.
Kulsoom said she may not wear the singlet this time round, because due to distance (Africa and America) we could not have proper fittings.
Instead we did all we could with videos, pictures and emails.
And also the colour is a little too light to represent Pakistan national colours which is more of a darker green and white.
Still it is a W-I-P as we continue to develop it according to Kulsoom's needs so that it will truly be performance sportswear.

However, she has confirmed (at least for now ) that both her and her coach will wear the warm up suits friniggi is sponsoring them. AS I mentioned in a previous post, Kulsoom is under the friniggi 12th Girl sponsorship where I sponsor as much of her kit as possible. For now this is sports hijab, customised singlet, warm up suits.

I hope that Kulsoom goes far in her endeavours both on and off the weightlifting arena.
