Matryoshka Embroidered Doll Kit – Level 3

Stitch a little tradition into something entirely your own.

The Matryoshka Embroidered Doll Kit transforms the familiar form of a nesting doll into a richly detailed embroidery project for confident beginners and experienced stitchers.

This Level 3 design uses intricate stitches across most of the fabric surface, giving you plenty of detail to explore as color, pattern, and texture gradually take shape. The pattern is hand screen-printed directly onto cotton with vibrant, water-based inks, so there’s no tracing or transferring required.

Stitch the design, assemble and stuff your Matryoshka, and finish with a handmade doll approximately 4.5" tall.

Why We Love It

We love the transformation at the heart of this project. A familiar, traditional form becomes something personal through the choices and imperfections of hand stitching.

With so much of the surface embroidered, there’s time to settle into the pattern and watch the details accumulate—until you’ve made a Matryoshka that unmistakably carries the hand of its maker.
