Doll tilde

Tilda term called all the toys (and much more handmade) a Norwegian author - Tone Finanger. Now her books are very popular, but unfortunately, they are not in Russian.

Probably so many needle women are familiar hares in Panama tolstushechki-bathers flying seals, ulitochki on wheels, sleepy angels, guardian angels of the hearth, gusiki Christmas, Easter rabbits and bears coffee ...

At first glance, these toys - are quite different, but if you look closely, all of them and something similar. Perhaps the small little black eyes; perhaps characteristic blush; and possibly machinery manufacturing ...

So what is so special in Tilda?

First of all, in the manufacture of body Tilda Russian masters recommend using mainly natural fabrics (linen, cotton, calico, or wool). Dolls are very well suited flannel, and for small animals - fleece, but the jersey - Body Tildikov not recommended.

Some umelitsy advised to sew spandex toys. It should be noted that sew toys, Tilda abroad using a special material (he has a very complicated name), and we can be ordered only through the online store.

For the manufacture of clothes tilde toys you can use any materials (silk, tulle, organza, calico, fleece, jeans, jersey, cotton, etc.). But it is better to take the cloth with a small figure (the smaller the better).

Drawing can be any - strip, cell, flowers, abstract, or stains on the fabric.

In the manufacture of toys, you can use a sewing machine, and it is possible to sew all the seams by hand (and by the way it looks more accurate).

Many toys have Tilda-seam in the middle, it requires a very neat stitching doll faces (faces little animals). Before reversing of tissue in the nose gently incised before reaching the seam of 1-2 mm.

The body of many Tilda dolls cut out along with part of the dress.

To do this, we must first make two different fabrics (fabric for the body and the fabric for clothing) to iron well.

Then cut out by aligning the seam line with a line shown on the pattern.

Feet dolls often sewn at the knees (so they bend).

After stitching and eversion legs, her stuffed, just short of the specified tag, sewn and stuffed continue almost to the end.

It must be remembered that many of the dolls "should" sit, so no need to tightly fill the legs near the thighs. Then, after the sewing they are well bent.

Nezashitye part after filling (top leg, foot small animals) can sew up a hidden seam - small stezhochki on the edge of the joints, almost inside.

Characteristic of dolls Tilda is the fact that they all have beautiful southern tan. That is, it is necessary to sew the doll's body from tissue of the corresponding color (not white)!

But if a tissue is not present, it does not matter! And most can be painted any white fabric, and then sew from her toy.

Dyes generally used tea brew coffee or soluble.

Stuffed toys, or predominantly synthetic padding hollofayber. Personally, I'm all stuffed toys (by the way, not only the tilde) tight enough, using the hollofayber of our old pillows. Some parts can fill with scraps of fabric and thread (some masters all remnants collected specifically, they do waste-free production).

Tilda - still do not play, namely interior toys. They are used as souvenirs and home decorating.

Therefore, they are often flavored. For flavor you can add a plug in vanilla, cinnamon, or a delicious-smelling herbs (lavender, jasmine, basil), it is possible to put and finished pouches, sachets. You can rub the spice wet toy.

Eyes Tilda embroidery floss (French knots) or paint with acrylic paints for fabric. You can try to sew beads.

The characteristic color or create a conventional bulk blush (no oil component) or acrylic paint or using pencils (need to scratch the blade and pencil to shade with a cotton swab).
