Description:
Lets make some handmade Matryoshka Dolls!! Since the previous Matryoshka doll swap that I'm waiting for was cancelled.So I decide to hold this swap by myself. You will make one set of Matryoshka 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.Just be creative. You can also send extra for your partner, maybe from your partner profile or anything that suited the Matryoshka theme. Here you will find a pattern for them: The pattern You must be 4.75 + to join this swap. No no sent in 6 months. Newbies please message me first. This is international swap You will have lots of time in between. Be creative and make with your heart. Please remember to rate your partners, they will work as hard as you on this swap and should be acknowledged :) EDIT As some of you ask that this must be done exactly as the same doll in this picture or not.The answer is NO, you can do anything that you want for your doll.Such as the flat one, the animal matryoshka etc. Rating criteria : 5 for the matryoshka that have 3 parts (3 nesting dolls). 3 for the late-sending or doll without 3 parts or a "very thoughtless, and very thrown together" doll Extra heart --> this depend on you :) Happy matryoshka swapping!!

I am so glad you did this! I was in the same swap that was cancelled and was so disappointed. Thank you for doing this one.

This is a super cute idea. I don't have the sewing skills necessary to participate, but I look forward to seeing what people come up with. This is going on my watchlist.

Glad that you all jointed in.Cause I'm the one who disappointed so much when that swap was cancelled.

Ok, so the biggest one is stuffed and sitting up and the other ones are flat to fit in her pouch? Or at least just very lightly stuffed? I love these dolls!

There's also a Christmas themed Matryoshka Doll swap going too :)

Do we have to do the same ones as pictured??? I ran across some other variations of fabric Matryoshkas while surfing..... can we do different types?

Anything with the fact that their must have 3 parts (3 nesting dolls), that's all. You can create as you want.I wish that everyone in this swap have fun and enjoy themself making the one that they like.^_^

I love this swap. I am not that good of a sewer but I do like embroidery. Hopefully the partner I get will like it.

I just signed up and I've been making the Matryoshka Doll, now I don't know if I can part from her.... :-(

I think I have to make another one for this swap and keep my #1 for myself:-)

I've seen your first one in flickr!! Really cute and adorable... If I was you I can't part from her too!
