While cruising the net looking for images I came across this adorable pattern and thought it would make a great swap!

matryoshka doll pattern

This swap is international and open to all swappers with a rating of 4.7 and up. Newbies there is lots of time to get rated for this one.

You will make one doll for one partner. They can be decorated however you like but must have 3 parts (3 nesting dolls). Decorating ideas could include embroidery, beading, fabric paints etc.

There is loads of time between signing up and the swap date to ensure you do a wonderful job of your Matryoshka Doll. Please remember to rate your partners, they will work as hard as you on this swap and should be acknowledged :)

I think this will be a fantastic swap and I hope you all enjoy it!

I've always wanted to make these dolls. What a great way to do it. I really look forward to seeing what everyone does.

Do we have to use this pattern or can we come up with our own?

magicjessnrach 12/ 4/2007 #

Hi Heide, I think an adapted pattern should be fine as long as it resembles te original. I would hate it if your partner rated you as requirements not met because they thought you should have used the same pattern they did. That said I have never tried to make one nor have I followed a pattern before so it should be interesting!Thanks for joining the swap :)

i looooove the idea! And love the original! I'll buy some fabric monday to start! I love so much!

simplyironic 01/ 4/2008 #

Do we have to make the dolls in felt or can we use fabric?

jessica 01/ 4/2008 #

I made some total crap ones. I will try again. I doubt I'll be able to make good ones. I do hope my partner will not mind. I really haven't sewn anything except Awana patches on vest since I was a little girl.

nicole 01/ 5/2008 #

oh dear... i have no talents to make these... i wish i did.. as they are too precious.

Sunshine9905 01/ 5/2008 #

I have a mama doll's body complete, now if I could just locate the rest of my felt, I could start the face. Oh, thank you for this one, I needed a little inspiration to sew again!!!!!

magicjessnrach 01/ 5/2008 #

My pleasure sunshine :) I haven't started mine yet but I'm looking forward to it.

Not sure mine will be any good either Jessica, my first Dottee doll looks ridiculous!

Simply Ironic, I'm sure any type of fabric would do.

Thanks everyone for joining in the fun!

I finally uploaded the pic of mine.

bluegrassgirl 01/ 8/2008 #

I too would really like to join, but am also waiting for my first rating. I hope you will host another again, soon. It seems to be very well liked!

smilesandsunshine 01/ 8/2008 #

It would be fun to do this more than once so we could each start a little collection of these dolls.

OK, I have finished mine and hope smilesandsunshine with still beam when she gets it. I played do overs on a couple of them and then just decided the little one can just look like PacMan. It was fun!

I have started a matryoshka lovers group if any of you would like to keep swapping these dolls and other similar patterns :)
