Three Russian Dolls

Russian Dolls

Step 1: For once, this isn't Japanese. It seems to be from a British company, and it even comes with a nice tin box. For the inexplicably cheap price of $14 at Townhall's Kinokuniya. I snapped it up, ofcourse.

Step 2: Open the contents, and just enough material is there to make three of the dolls. The design of the dolls is quite simple too.

Step 3: Cut out all the materials, and mix and match the hoods with the colourful bottom parts. I decided on this combination.

Step 4: Sew the faces on, and the top and bottom halves together. It's time to sew both of the front and back parts to make the doll.

Step 5: Stuff the dolls with stuffing, and then sew the wavy elastic band around them for a finishing touch. I added a few more things to it than was given in the kit.

 

I decided to gift the dolls to three couples I know, so I embroidered some names on them. Good use of cute dollies! Yay to Claire and Pedro, Ben and Nam, and Kath and Paul:

      Yeah, this one is pretty cute, and easy to make. Unfortunately, I can’t upload the pattern for this since I don’t own it, but there’s probably a lot of free patterns on the internet that you can download and try. :D
