Can you say Ugly?

I have been wanting to make my daughter a pajama bag. I searched patterns at the fabric store and the internet and came to the conclusion that there just is not much out there. There were several rather scary looking clown bags. I found this vintage cat on Etsy.com and ordered it. The pattern was hard to put together and the cat came out really UGLY! I'm just stubborn enough to try it again but I need to think about how I can change it so the pieces fit together better and so it's actually cute. My daughter liked it or else she was just too kind to say anything negative - lol.
