Matryoshka for teapot

Matryoshka has long been a visiting card of Russia. "Russian beauties", as our guests from far abroad call them, delight the eye in any performance: painted from wood, clay and ceramics and, from colorful patches, made using the patchwork technique. Such a nested doll is very multifunctional. It can be put on the refrigerator or hung on the wall in the kitchen, set hot tea, while decorating the table.




Sewing such a doll is very simple. In each house there are shreds of various fabrics. It is advisable to choose bright, printed with a picture of small flowers, cells, peas or diagonal stripes.
For sewing we will need: multi-colored pieces of fabric, 2 meter braid, 1 meter lace, scissors, a needle and thread, a sewing machine, felt-tip pens and PVA glue.
The shape and size of the dolls are arbitrary. They are determined by the purpose of the product. For a samovar, it’s a big nesting doll, and for a teapot, it’s a small doll that sits beautifully on a teapot.
The photo clearly shows the elements of the product. First, cut out the "body" of the matryoshka from the main fabric (two parts). Between these layers put a layer of batting of the same shape.





Now imitate a handkerchief. Russian motifs look very impressive on a scarf. Cells, peas and flowers are best used for the base. Having cut out the details of the scarf and sewn the strips of lace and lace to your liking, put all the parts together and sew on the sewing machine along the contour of the front side. We attach the braid to the front side of the seam, cover the seam with braid and hem from the wrong side by hand.
A little face is cut out in the form of a circle of pink fabric, hair is made of brown. We draw eyes, nose and lips with a felt-tip pen and a circle glued to the place of the matryoshka face.




Having painted a cute face, the Russian doll will always create a good mood for you and your guests.
