Pattern Category - Skill Level - Beginner

"Hilda Jean Wood", "Alta Mae Wood", and "Priscilla Anne Wood" are a special group of Victorian "ladies" and have decided that despite the fact that they live on the frontier they want to form their own "Victorian Wood Tea Society!"

They may look dainty and Victorian, but they are a rugged group of ladies who have wood heads, wood bodies, wood arms, wood legs, and wood feet.

They're pioneer women and are used to living with harsh frontier conditions, but sometimes they just like to dress in their finest and have afternoon tea. So, they decided to create the "Victorian Wood Tea Society" for all like minded and similarly made wood Victorians.

This afternoon is their first tea and it's being held at "Alta Mae Wood's" house. The "ladies" can hardly wait to see what Alta Mae Wood will be wearing and what she will be serving. Hopefully, it's tea and crumpets.
