Matryoshka
I made this russian matryoshka doll pincushion as a gift for my mom. It was a super easy project since the design was already printed on the fabric. I just cut them out, filled with batting and stitched them together! I really like the matryoshka concept since it reminds me of infinity and pi, my favorite never ending numbers. Wish these little ladies had more of a smile though! They still brought one to me, hope they do the same for you!
I've added a picture of the original fabric - above.

I knew it! You don't sleep! It's almost noon in Paris so that makes it pretty early in the morning on the west coast... 9 hours difference and all.
Keep on making! :)
I love those, I collect russian dolls, yours are brilliant. In a rush so I'll read your previous post later...
I love the pincushion dolls. Clever idea.
You know, those printed dolls on fabric take me back. My grandmother used to supply me with oodles of those from our local fabric store when I was young. I loved them.
Hi lady k, I'm so busted, it was indeed really late last night. It's strange to think that in Paris you are living in such a different part of the day. That must have been a real adjustment, wow Paris!
Thanks weirdbunny. Would love to see your dolls, perhaps a picture!?
Me too, it's hard to stop myself from creating a huge bevy of them! Thank you Cathy!
Hi ladylinoleum, oh I know what you mean I still have a batch of those somewhere but this one was actually just made from just normal fabric, the dolls (about 3X2) made up the pattern themselves. I did this before with a butterfly print fabric, if the prints can be lined up pretty close together right side to wrong side it works pretty well. I should have put a picture of the fabric up!
I adore their little rosy cheeks Gina. Hey, that clock is spectacular... you lucky duck. Have an awesome Wednesday. Much love xox.
I love these dolls - might have to have a go at them - great fabric you have used!
quick and easy project, and the result is cute :)
was it "just because" or did your mom had an anniversary?
Aw, thanks nicole! I thought so too, it was such a lovely surprise. Happy day to you too dear!
Hi Kate, yes I just got lucky on this one, I hadn't thought about being able to make a little pincushion out of the fabric until I got home and was looking at it. Can't wait to see what you come up with!
Thanks so much madhatter! The pincushion was a little additive to her birthday present package!
HE he he, I love it!!
Thank you kumi!!!
