How to make

Step 1

Create a template of The Matryoshka Doll onto some paper or card. Add the basic details for later.

Step 2

Draw round the template onto the calico.

Step 3

Begin to add the detail. Cut out the required shapes from the set of FQ's choosing the patterns for each part of the Matryoshka Doll. You can add a circle for the face or cut one out from the headscarf allowing the calico underneath to show and become the face.

Step 4

Sew the individual bits to secure down onto the calico. Any delicate bits can be hand sewn, like the Hair, decorative Lace, Buttons & Bows

Step 5

Add some felt for hair, embroider the eyes, nose and lips. You can add rosy cheeks with powder blusher and a cotton bud.

Step 6

When all of the sections are sewn, cut another outline from the calico, then pin R/S to R/S.

Step 7

Sew around the edge. Turn inside out carefully pushing out the shape & Stuff with toy filling. I leave a little flap in the bottom so I can tuck it in once stuffed to create a neat finish.

Step 8

Add decorative detail and a contrasting ribbon to hang.
