Angel Tilda is a popular toy invented by Norwegian designer Tony Finnanger. This handmade cute little thing will be a wonderful decoration of your room or a great gift.
Tilda doll (angel)
Perhaps this toy can be called the most popular and recognizable character in the world of Tild. The angel has many hypostases - she can be portrayed as a modest girl with a halo over her head, in the form of a sleeping beauty or a New Year's fairy. But all these characters are united by femininity, laconicism of the image and ease of execution. Quite often, the angel Tilda is called upon to perform a very specific function. For example, he holds a pillow with needles in a sewing corner or cotton buds in a bathroom. All these dolls have common features:
- Firstly, Tilds have quite magnificent forms.
- Secondly, they have a rather small head.
- And finally, each has its own character.
Patterns
If you want to decorate your home with a beautiful doll, then first choose an image. To do this, you should refer to the original source - the books of Tony Finnanger. In them, she tells in detail how to sew toys, and offers ready-made schemes. The next way is to purchase a ready-made corporate kit that contains all the necessary materials. Unfortunately, they cannot be found in Russian stores, which means that you will have to order the right product on foreign sites. However, you can always find a ready-made pattern to use it. In this case, you have to choose the fabric and accessories for your doll yourself . The pattern of Tilda (angel) at first glance may seem quite new to beginners. But we are sure that the workflow will captivate you and give you a lot of pleasure.
Tilda angel. Master Class
Today we want to tell you how to sew a wonderful doll for the bathroom. Angel Tilda will decorate your apartment or be a great gift that will not leave anyone indifferent. So how is Tilda (angel) done? You can see the master class below:
- Find fabric for your body, doll’s bathrobe, towels, slippers and panties. It is better to dwell on natural materials (cotton, calico or linen).
- Print the pattern or just put the paper on the monitor and redraw. After that, cut it and transfer it to the fabric.
- Fold the blanks in half (so that the result is two identical parts) and sew them on the sewing machine. If you decide to work manually, then the “forward needle” seam will help you.
- Cut out the details, leaving a little space around the seam with curly scissors. If you do not have them, then use the usual ones, but in the end, make incisions in the places of bends.
- Turn out the finished parts and fill with filler using a sushi stick. Handles and legs should be filled up to half, then stitched and continued stuffing, but not so tight. Thus, you will provide your Tilde with mobility, and now she will be able to sit or hold something in her hands.
- Sew together all body parts.
- The turn of work on clothes has come. Transfer the patterns to the fabric, cut out the details and sew them together. Put the panties on the doll and sew them to the torso. A robe is also done in the same way. Put the finished product on the doll, and to make it look more neat, sew its edges together.
- For a towel, it is best to use a terry cloth. Cut a piece from it and wrap it on Tilda's head as it usually does after a bath. After that, sew the towel with threads so that it does not fall.
- We sew wings. To do this, transfer the pattern to the fabric, sew the details and cut them. After this, the product should be turned out, ironed and filled with a synthetic fluff or holofiber. Sew the finished wings to your back.
- Using acrylic paints or your own cosmetics, draw a doll mouth and blush. You can also draw eyes with paints, but it is better to make them with the help of threads - for this you will need to make French knots from the mouline thread . Some craftswomen prefer to use beads.
Tilda is ready. It remains to make a few final touches - make slippers for her from the terry cloth, a belt and hand in your hands a box of cotton-wrapped cloth with cotton swabs. You can also hand a bath beauty in your hands a towel, washcloth or hairdryer. You can hang the finished decoration by the mirror or in the bathroom.
Shutdown
As you know, the devil is in the details. Therefore, before completing the work, carefully inspect the doll from all sides. Remove unnecessary threads and adjust clothing. You might want to decorate angel wings with beads, ribbons or lace. In order not to overload the image of Tilda, look at the photographs of the original source - the work of Tony Finnanger, and do not forget that Tilda is a simple but stylish lady.
