The first thing i needed to do was create the perfect shape of a russian doll out of paper to make a template. At first my template wasn't fat enough and made my pillow cotton tests look too skinny. I played about with this until i got it just right. I used my russian patterns fabric in the 3 colours and matched them up back and front colour and also ones that had mixed colours front and back. I used the fatter paper template with the same progress to create the outline making sure that they were symmetrical. Next i added tiny beads for detail paying particular attention to colours that would match the backgrounds. I used past techniques by sewing french knots working back into my fabric. I pulled the cushions inside out and used the sewing machine on every Russian doll so that the beaded detail wouldn't get damaged. Finally the end results are nice and cute. I am really happy with these and ready to display for my FMP show!!!!
