I admire to make Babushka - Matryoshka rag dolls. They are colorful, pretty and very decorative. In Russian folk culture Matryoshka doll is a symbol of motherhood.
I have painted traditional wooden babushka dolls, but I like to create plush fabric ones better - but all my babushka dolls have hand-painted cute faces, so they are not identical, just look as a sisters )
Here I'll show you how I make the babushka doll:
If you want to decorate you doll - easy to do this part of work now. You can do it then the doll is finished also. I do decorating before and after sewing. Decoratw full width of the dress part
Pin the two pieces together (as if the fabric was inside out) Keep the divide between the shawl and dress) according the line on the sewing pattern and mark the outline of the pattern (I use a special craft pen, but you can use a pencil).
Leave a gap at the base of the doll for stuffing. For the babushka doll with stable bottom (that can stand upright) see more description how to make it below.
Sew Front and Back together. Dont forget the gap!
2. Instraction for the stable bottom of the doll.
To make it clear this part of work I use 2 pieces of fabrics - front is yellow and back is red
Г shape unsewed parts of product let you make the stable bottom! The gap for stuffing is in the middle of the bottom
Oh! Almost has done!
