Following my Russian Doll find last week at the Bank Holiday car boot sale it got me thinking. Recently I have seen some lovely Russian Doll type fabric and accessories about and thought I would have a go myself.
This was the result:
I drew her shape out freehand with a fabric marker (which will disappear, so please ignore the purple pen marks), with a little help from a couple of buttons for her head and face shapes, and kind of made the rest up as I went along.
A little felt and fabric matryoshka key ring (or bag charm). I really enjoyed making this little lady and I have already started making more of these. They are very easy to do and it is all hand sewn so (as no sewing machine is required) if you have a stinking headache (like I did at the time) this quiet sewing project is the thing to do (if anyone is interested I will do a little tutorial).

Don’t forget it’s not too late to join my giveaway (see button at top right), the winner’s name will be plucked from the Rington’s teapot on Thursday night by my son.

I love it!!!
I'd love a tutorial, pretty please!
You can't beat a bit of hand-sewing, a cheeky glass of rose and some diverting television sometimes can you?

Love the keyring kandi would also love a tutorial x x
Another clever make Kandi. Especially as it was your own make. Maybe one day I'll pick up a needle instead of a pen! lol

Thanks lovely ladies! I really loved making this so I will definately do a tutorial when I do the rest.
And Nicky - I bet you are better at sewing than I am at drawing ~ :)

Very gorgeous :)
BTW does your offer of a spare CK summer catalogue still stand? I've 2 people who'd like one - I'll send to Sarah in NZ if you could send to someone in the UK? Let me know via my blog or the email link in my profile - thankyou eversomuch - Vicki xx
Found your blog through MSE and I'm loving all your makes.
This keyring is so cute and I have a friend who loves Russian Dolls so I'd love to see a tute!

These are fab - I tried to make one the other day but failed miserably. I tried with all felt but the fabric mixed with felt looks much nicer. A tutorial would be great.
That looks fab, look forward to a tutorial x
This is fab Kandi. I`d love a tutorial too.
