HOFFMAN CHALLENGE 2012

This one was fun (not). The print was so big, and they are so tickey about doll size: 20" max. I went over that one year and my doll was promptly returned. So this time I made sure she was just 19". I ordered a couple of the coordinating fabrics to work with. Hated the light lavender, and wasn't sure about the purple, until I turned it wrong side out. Yeah, that's more like it...and with the way the skirt is made you canview the right side. Finally I decided to solve the HUGE print of the fabric, by bonding with another fabric, then cutting out and re-assembling. Works for me!

BACK VIEW OF ROSA

She needed a little more "oomph" so I gave her a bustle...since dolls are to be viewed from all sides, Much better.
