Hettie, A Pink Miss All in Teacups

 This is Hettie, a Rhoda Doll all pretty in pinks and pale browns.  As always she is made from tea dyed calico and has wool tops for hair and an embroidered face.  She sports a jaunty little crochet hat and has a stripy shawl & stripy legs. Again, as always, she has matching knickers and underskirt now with a net underskirt to give lift to the whole ensemble. The net is horrible to work with, so slippery but I think its worth it for the overall effect.

The fabric she is dressed in is from the Tilda Winter Memories range, Teacups - all the way back to Autumn/Winter 2012 would you believe.  Just before Christmas I was given all sorts of fat quarters in every colour imaginable, wool and lots of embroidery silks by a friend who wanted to declutter and disperse her stash with a downsizing house move in the offing.  Lots of friends received a very welcome New Year parcel with all kinds of goodies.  Hettie came about from this windfall, the fabric is lovely colours and Tilda fabric is always great to work with. Sometimes you just have to make something and Hettie was like that, I just wanted to use the fabric and she just had to have pink hair!
