Tilda Hares
In addition to the famous Tild dolls, there are also a variety of animals and insects, among which hares are very popular. Tilda hare patterns and a detailed master class we will present in this article.
Tilda's hare may look completely different, but it will feel that they are all made in the same style. You can come up with your own outfit for a toy, sew from other fabrics, but if you use Tilda’s full-size rabbit patterns, then your toy will still resemble the original.
Tools you need to work
In order to sew a hare, it is not necessary to be a professional in this matter, but any experience in sewing will still be useful. Not everyone can make a toy of their dreams the first time, for this it takes months and even years of training.
For work you will need:
- Tailor's scissors. Such scissors can be bought at any stationery or fabric store.
- Chalk, soap or fabric marker. A bright fabric marker that is clearly visible is best suited. True, he quickly disappears from the fabric. Chalk is sometimes difficult to erase; it can ruin the look of the toy. Soap, on the contrary, is most often poorly visible on the fabric, which can interfere with work.
- Needle and thread. You can choose even the thinnest needle, for example, a bead. Working with her is very convenient and fast. Threads must be selected color in color to the fabric.
- Tissues.
- Filler for a toy. It can be syntepuh, hollofiber or even granulate (it is used to make toys heavier).
- Patterns hares Tilda.
- Accessories for decorating toys: satin ribbons, artificial flowers, beads, lace, etc.
Toy body
The most important and crucial stage is working with the pattern, transferring it to the fabric, as well as flashing all the parts and their connection. The first step is to look at what hares will turn out. Life-size patterns look like this:
This pattern will help you sew the same Tilda bunny, as in the photos above.
The first step is to print this pattern, and then cut out all the details and transfer them to the fabric. To do this, you will need a marker on the fabric and the fabric itself (usually flesh-colored, you can take print material). Bunny ears are not attached to this pattern, they can be drawn on paper yourself or taken from this pattern:
Identical parts need to be sewn together using a needle and thread or a sewing machine (if any). Do not forget to leave an unwired part on each part so that you can expand it and fill it with a synthetic pad. After stuffing, it is necessary to sew the hole with a blind seam. Hare patterns can be left for the next toy.
Further decoration of the toy
If you sew a hare from ordinary flesh-colored fabric , you will need a costume or some kind of decoration with ribbons or flowers. If you sew a hare on a special Tilda fabric (it is easy to get it in specialized stores), then you can do without further decoration. If you don’t know where to buy this fabric, you can go to a regular tailor shop. Take patterns of hares and attach to various bright materials. Usually use fabric with flowers, butterflies or stripes.
If you sew a hare from flesh-colored fabric, then the toy can be decorated by tying a beautiful bow on the neck. Having a lot of experience, you can sew clothes for toys, taking patterns of hares. It can be any dress or even a suit.
Tilda is a very interesting style that will help give your home originality and coziness. There are many pictures in the needlework publications with other hares of Tildas, where you can get inspiration. Hare patterns will help you create the best and cutest toys.
