Create an illustration in the style of Edward Gorey featuring a small, doll-like character with large, dark, button-like eyes and a stitched mouth. The figure is dressed in worn, patched-up clothing with a hood, and a small pouch holding odd, symbolic tools like scissors, hinting at a mysterious purpose. Use intricate cross-hatching to emphasize the textures of the fabric and stitches, creating an eerie, textured look. The character should have a simple, exaggerated silhouette and expressionless face, conveying an air of quiet mystery. Place the figure in a minimalistic, blurred background, with only faint hints of an alley or street, enhancing a sense of loneliness and quiet dread.
