Snapshots from Convention: Hitty workshop!
I was pleased to have the privilege of taking a Hitty workshop with Gail Wilson! I’d long been a fan……
Participants received a kit, containing everything they’d need. The doll’s head was already done, as well as some preliminary machine-sewing on the body parts. Then we carved the wooden arms and feet, painted arms, feet, and (turned wood) legs, and assembled the entire doll! It was a blast!

Painting stripes on her stockings:

Yay!
