Lenin, Stalin, Kruschev,and you made an adorable pinafore apron. So cute! I have a question on the Timtex though. Never used it before. Because it's stiff, does it make it real difficult to turn the dolls right side out afterwards? And thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLenin, Stalin and Gorbachev. The lined pinafore is adorable! I have a dear friend from Russia who I would love to make the nesting dolls for. Thanks for the chance!

You made another apron (which is adorable) and the dolls were Lenin, Stalin, Kruschev, Gorbachev. I love the panel! Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteOur great grandchildren would love these nesting dolls. Stalin.Gorbachev and Lenin are three.
ReplyDeleteLenin, Stalin, Kruschev. You made Eva a little apron. I love how you made the nesting dolls. Thanks for the tutorial.
ReplyDeleteGorbachev, Brezhnev, Khrushchev and Stalin.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the way you went outside the box to make the fabric nesting dolls from the fabric. You're right; I would have cut them out, sewn them up, and then added stuffing to make individual dolls.
And the little apron you made to replace one left behind is adorable as well. I really like the lining you used with the front of the apron. So pretty.
I am sure my email is on my profile, but just in case:

ReplyDeleteAndropov, Brezhnev, Khrushchev, Stalin, and Lenin The pinafore apron is adorable!! I was fascinated with Russian nesting dolls as a child and always wanted a set.

ReplyDeleteStalin, Lenin Gorbachev?
ReplyDeleteI love the aprons you made!
Lenin, Stalin, Kruschev, Gorbachek.
ReplyDeleteThe nesting dolls you made for your grand daughter were lovely.
ReplyDeleteGreat fabric! Soviet leaders included Stalin, Lenin, Kruschev, Gorbachev, ... As usual your trip outside the box is successful and creative, Debby. I love the flat dolls with pockets to hold the next smaller doll, and the pinafore for Eva is so sweet! May I be reincarnated as one of your granddaughters? (janeherbst at roadrunner dot com)
Lenin, Stalin, Gorbachev,Kruschev, I made an apron/top like this for my girls when they were little(they are in their 30s now). I didn't have that pretty fabric, I just used flour sacks. Yep, still got them in the 70s and I saved them.
ReplyDeletelenin, stalin, and kruschev, thanks for the giveaway. love your doll idea.
ReplyDeleteLenin, Stalin and Gorbashav..Nice apron you made for your daughter...eyreka1@gmail.c0m
ReplyDeleteLenin (smallest), Stalin, Khrushchev, Brezhnev and Gorbache= the leaders
ReplyDeleteYou made reinforced dolls like paperdaolls and the amock/apron for the child.
Khrushchev is unmistakable, as is Gorbachev's head. Stalin and Lenin are the smaller ones, I think. Breshnev's eyebrows give him away. =) Love that little apron, it's so cute! But the dolls are the best. I wouldn't have thought of doing the nesting pockets. In fact, I was wondering how you could make fabric nesting dolls. Well, you showed me! Thanks for the chance to win. dezertsuz at gmail
ReplyDeleteHa ha I thought I had to remember those names and actually I did (4)but with my spelling you never would have known it Lenin, Stalin, Kruschev, Gorbachev especially Kruschev (Crewcheif) anyway I so love the little apron you made I think the faced or to my mind reversible version is so darn cute
ReplyDeleteAnd your so clever with the dolls I would have loved those to take to church with my granddaughters a nice quiet set to keep the little ones busy

I recognize Gorbachev, Kruschev, and Lenin...and feel like a shrub for not knowing the other two. Cute idea, though. Thanks for the giveaway!

Our oldest daughter is from Russia and have collected the nesting dolls for her since she came to live with us in 1993. Three of the leaders in your unique set are Lenin, Stalin, and Khrushchev. I've never seen a set like that, but then again, I've never been to Russia. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteOoops...almost forgot. You also made the cutest little apron for your granddaughter to replace the one that was left behind. What a sweet grandmother you are:-)!
