Toys in the style of tilde are loved by many. Fortunately, in sewing, they are not so complicated, and if you really want to, you can sew one or several cute toys for yourself. The range of models is different: dolls, animals, decor items. Hearts in the tilde style perfectly complement almost any interior. You will find a pattern in our article.
What are tilda toys?
Toys made using this technique are completely different. The series may include animals, dolls, insects, flowers, home decoration and much more. The specificity of this particular style is that all products have specific features that distinguish them from other toys. They have an elongated elongated shape. In the work using only natural fabrics. The faces of toy characters are made out in a special way. They have a minimum of elements - these are small black eyes made of beads or painted. Also pink cheeks, which are most often painted using ordinary female cosmetics. You can sew a pillow-heart in the style of tilda with your own hands. The pattern can be drawn independently by hand. Even those who did not work out with drawing can afford such a craft. Sewing it is not so difficult, but imagination can be shown completely.
Heart decor can be anything. It will become a universal gift for your beloved people for any reason. Birthday, Christmas, Valentine's Day and even Easter - all this is an occasion to sew a tilde's heart.
Small heart pattern
Items can be sewn in any size. Make several hearts of different sizes in the same style and decorate a nursery or living room. The pattern of the heart is simple, very simple. You can draw or print it directly from the following illustration. It is not at all difficult to draw a pattern of a heart of the right size by hand on plain paper. Paper and pencil are all that is needed. The most important thing is that the oblong shape be sustained, because it is it that is the hallmark of toys made in this style.
The “thickness” of the pattern may fluctuate, the hearts may be slightly thinner or slightly wider, but in general they look closer to the shape of a carrot than a real heart. It should be borne in mind that the pattern of the heart is flat, and in the finished form the product will become even narrower, because in the full state the width of the fabric will go into volume. The most common option is when the pattern is placed on an A4 sheet.
Heart Pillow Pattern
For sewing pillows you will need a large pattern. To correctly determine the proportions, it is very convenient to use an A4 sheet for comparison. The width of the heart in the widest part should be slightly larger than half its height. This is not a pillow in the traditional view; sleeping on it will be completely uncomfortable. The tilde heart pattern is such that it will be wider at one end and very narrow at the other.
In addition, sewn braid and decorative buttons will rest on the head, but to decorate the room with such wonderful pillows is a great idea. Throw a couple of pieces on the sofa or in the room of your daughter on the bed - and you will get stylish decoration.
What can be useful in work?
Things in the tilde style are made from natural materials. A fabric of different shades, with a different pattern, ornament - everything fits. If fabrics are combined in one product, then they should be combined with each other, especially if there is a pattern on them. It is advisable to select materials in the same style.
For sewing the product, you need a pattern of the heart itself, printed or drawn by hand. Prepare various accessories: ribbons, lace. Any decorative elements that can be sewn will do. These can be small flowers made of fabric, sequins, braid made of cotton threads, shreds of different fabrics, with which you can decorate the heart. This may be relevant when a plain material is selected as the basis for sewing, in a restrained color.
Filler fits any. You can use sintepon or holofiber. Some people still continue to use cotton wool in their work, but this material strongly absorbs moisture and the product may become deformed. Nobody will deliberately wet the heart in water, but this can happen by accident and then you just have to throw it away. I always feel sorry for my work and do not want to spoil what I worked on for more than one hour. And if this is a gift, then even more so, I want it to last longer. So, regarding the use of cotton wool as a filler, let everyone make an independent decision.
When the pattern and materials are ready, and inspiration is in full swing - you can create! No fantasy restrictions!
