Hi everyone. I am looking for something i had as a kid. my older sister and i had matching dolls. they were plush Matryoshka dolls. you know, those russian dolls. i remember mine was slightly smaller than hers but both had red outfits. they didnt have arms or legs but it was just a print of the doll front and back then sewn together it was kind of flat not really human shaped. i wish to find these but i cant find any old ones. just new ones that people make. if i could find the fabric and make it myself that would work too. but i loved that doll and my sisters is now pregnant and i think it would be a great gift to give the baby something we loved as kids.

Don't know where you would find the dolls BUT lots of places to find fabric...

Maybe you're talking about Pillow People? They were rectangular shaped and they were plush like you described.

If I remember correctly they were hard plush not soft.  (Ie no give when you hugged them) and they were shaped like a bowling pin or peanut.

oh i do have a pillow person. its one of things that survived all the moving i did as a child.  but no the one im thinking of was bowling pin shaped.  this site (http://ericadaley.com/FabricMatryoshkaDolls.htm) is wonderful. thank you. they aren't like mine but they are adorable.
