I picked up a copy of "Stitch craft create" Spring 2013 which included a Russian Doll Decoration kit. The magazine itself is excellent and although a little more expensive than I usually pay for a craft magazine (£9.99), it has a lot of fab projects for me to try out.
The kit comes with material, templates, thread, ribbon and felt for 3 russian dolls. I must admit this project was a lot more difficult than the cross stitching I had been doing as there was a lot of fiddling around trying to cut out and position the felt pieces ready to sew on. The sewing itself was quite difficult to push the needle through 2 x felt and then material. The material was very fragile so you have to be careful not to tear it. I managed one doll before deciding that I really must get on with the Christmas gifts so I will return to this at a later date.
First doll isn't perfect but I'm sure I'll get better as I go along. I will show the steps for the next one instead of just the end result.
