Having defined the model and prepare all the necessary materials for her sewing and decoration, you can start making the dolls, which takes place in several stages.

Step by Step Master Class

Making any toy begins with the construction of a pattern, and Tilda is no exception to the rule. Done by hand pattern for an angel doll, baby or girl is a snap, but it is better not to waste time and use ready-made patterns that you can simply print a full-length dolls and use as a universal curve.

Printed patterns for sewing toys must be in full-scale, although it is usually of A4-A3 is enough. Typically, to create a tilde using such standard schemes:

• A dolly as angel;
• Pattern for bunnies;
• New Year's toy in the form of an elk.

After adjusting the pattern to the desired size and cut it is possible to start cutting out parts. To this should be attached to the back side pattern solid knit fabric in an unstretched form, its pin in several places dressmaker pins and circle in pencil, which, if anything, can be easily wash out.

Cut knitwear need sharp scissors, or elastic tissue will be collected, and the edge of the item is received uneven. Naturally, before the cutting work must be duplicated all the allowances necessary for the performance of the joints. Furthermore, it is possible to use a lining fabric for the main body of the white cotton cloth, which can be fixed with knits via flizelinovoj glue, however, in this case, rely on the fact that the elasticity of the upholstery remains the same, certainly not necessary, and it is necessary to consider before performing cut.

Making toys with their own hands

There is a standard master-class for dolls Tilda (pattern, or rather, the choice of a particular model it in this case does not matter).

For its implementation you must adhere to the following step by step instructions:

1. Since Tilda are bulky toys, every detail of them, whether it is the torso, head, arms and legs, sewn from two absolutely identical halves. That is, in the diagrams drawn pattern of halves that are sure to be duplicated with all the necessary allowances and gaps. Some of the details and all you need to transfer onto the fabric three times (hands, feet, ears, bunny, moose antlers, as each model is provided of a pair).
2. After cutting out all the necessary preparations made their paired smetyvanie of allowances thread of contrasting color extension.
3. Stitched by the details need not completely, leaving little free land for their eversion and filling hollofaybera toy or synthetic padding. Narrow elements is easiest to turn out using the blunt end of a pencil or pen. In the same way should be done packing the product, and if the simulation has been involved only one jersey layer, then you can not save on the vehicle, keeping in mind the elastic properties of the tissue and its ability to reach well.
4. To sew the ears or horns to your head, you must leave it in the appropriate size hole. In this case it is better to use a hand hidden seam, which is in contrast to the machine line will not be evident. With regard to the arms and legs, they can be made mobile, sewn to the body round flat buttons of. In this case, a cutout for them could be internal, which can mask the button or a through providing a more secure fit. In this case, both options have their advantages and disadvantages, and if someone confuse open the buttons, they can always hide behind a dress or any other element of the wardrobe for Tilda.
5. The head can be an extension of the body (important for angels and other models with a small head) or mounted separately, if a large amount of it was provided. In the latter case, the embroidery or drawing of the eye must be performed before the planting head on the torso doll. The same applies to Tress, which are sewn by hand to the head in a circle with a thin fishing line. In this case, it is better to abandon the bonding strands, since the adhesive tends to leave behind stains and worse to stay on the fabric.
6. It is easy to notice that many models Tilda rosy cheeks. To make such a make-up is a snap, because for this is quite simple to use color cosmetics and a small foam sponge sponge instead. In this act should be very carefully, keeping in mind that the correct makeup mistake on the knitting head is almost impossible. And to avoid such incidents, it is recommended to practice beforehand, using a free piece of cloth.

At this stage, the production of toys can be considered as completed. However, having studied the basic instructions on how to sew doll Tilda, should learn the basic subtleties and nuances of its decoration, because this process can be called a real magic, without which the transformation of the toy becomes impossible.

3. Warm cozy sweaters are perfectly combined with lush layered skirts of tulle, sewing, which takes less than an hour. To do this, simply add together several identical width strips of tulle, gather thread in the upper part thereof and stitched gum in this place in a stretched condition so that it can then gather and tightness in the lush skirt coattails.
