Gertie - All in Pink, Ochre and Turquoise

Oh, another little tubby lady, this is Gertie and she is another Nora Style Doll.

Made to my own pattern, she has the usual hand detailing and this time is dressed in a jazzy modern print that I picked up as a clearance bundle. The fabric is a lovely quality and great to work with.  I like the tones and contrasts that tie the overall designs together.

Gertie is sooo blond, this is a new Trimits colour that I found and makes a real blond statement, I like it with this fabric but you would have to be careful how you team this as it is non too subtle.  Words like arrant or audatious or just plain sassy spring to mind, this little lady has attitude and that sits well with me.

She is finished, as always, with back buttons, a bead brooch, ribbons and a lavender sachet which compliments her frock.  Her stripy legs and leather shoes complete her look, I hope you like her.
