Matryoshka or Nesting Doll Pincushion Tutorial

*Note, this one was made for tutorial purposes, so more care was put into just getting the "how to" across than the finished product*

How cute!!! I may have to make some of these. I think I even have some plain wooden dolls in my art room downstairs.

That's cute...But what about those of us that can't draw for our life? Are you gonna draw it for us and then send it back? LOL

What a great idea! One for pins, one for hand needles, one for sewing machine needles, one for embroidery needles, etc.

Where did you get the unfinished "dolls" if I may ask?

me too, I want to know the supply source. I have a set of the dolls that watch me from the corner shelf, but wouldn't want to damage them. They'd love sisters to do the hard work. :thumbup:

I think using a "real" nesting doll set would be just perfect!

What a great tute. Those are so cute.

Great tutorial. They are wonderful.

Thanks for the post they are darling.. I love making pen cusings !!! Going to make some for Christmas for my quilting group !!!!!

moonangel12 09-24-2010 10:22 AM

Those are too cute, and very practical for someone with kids like myself! I know no matter where I put it, they somehow seem to find it... this would at least keep the pins covered and help keep my LOs out of harms way!

Nice, love this ideal thank you.
