The story of everyone's favorite Tilda doll began back in 1999, on the day when Norwegian artist Toni Finnanger had the idea to create something special. After this, a Tilda doll was created with my own hands: for beginners, patterns and a description of the process are provided in this article. You will learn the secrets of designing the face of a designer doll, and the types of fabric used to create a unique image.

What is Tilda?

Tilda is an amazing doll, different from the others with an elongated body, long legs, button eyes. Tilda's cheeks invariably glow red, no matter who this interesting doll is. And the handmade toy has thousands of images: girls and boys, pot-bellied rabbits and colorful snails, funny cats. Each handicraft masterpiece has its own name and character; Tilda's clothes and accessories are never repeated.

Fabrics for designer dolls

Tilda, in her first appearance, was conceived by Toni Finnager as village designer doll. That's why there were fabrics for her natural ones were used. Despite the fact that the number of incarnations of the toy has increased, the fabric for needlework has remained the same. Use types of textiles and accessories when creating an individual look:

Body

The body of the Tilda doll is different beautiful tan or aristocratic pallor: suitable options will become flannel, calico, linen. If you can’t choose the color of the fabric, then take a white or pale material beige color and paint it the “tildin” color yourself.

Use natural dyes : instant coffee, onion peel or tea leaves. Boil the fabric with one of the listed ingredients for 10-15 minutes, then dry slightly and steam with an iron until completely dry.

Cloth

Use cotton fabric delicate color: blue, white, pink, light brown. Colors can be very diverse, but most often for the Tilda doll, fabrics with roses, delicate wildflowers, polka dots, and fine geometry are used.

If you are planning to sew Tilda with your own hands in outerwear, then take a closer look at jeans and natural wool.

Hair

The most common option is ordinary colored yarn . To embody individual images, you can use natural or artificial hair from handicraft stores.

Padding

The most popular option is holofiber. You can try stuffing the doll with cotton wool, but its mobility will deteriorate somewhat.

By the way, fabrics for beginning needlewomen should be purchased in a specialized store. They sell ready-made cuts that will free you from painful thoughts about combining fabrics. Buy fabric only for a specific Tilda: the variety of assortment can push you into thoughtless purchases.

How to make a face for a doll?

To make a doll special person, it is not necessary to have higher art education. And for secondary vocational students too. All you need is a little imagination and available products that you can find in your cosmetic bag.

Eyes

Start decorating the eyes after you sew on the hair. Otherwise, you may not guess with their location, and Tilda’s face will look unkempt.

To begin, outline the future button eyes with a needle or pencil: if you are satisfied with the result, then apply it to the fabric acrylic paint or black varnish for nails.

When you reach the professional level of sewing designer toys, it is recommended to purchase special set"Tilda Kit Paint Faces" which contains everything necessary tools and materials for creating the face of the future Tilda doll. Such a set will have to be ordered from abroad: Tilda branded materials are not widely used in Russia.

In addition to painting, eyes can be made using French knot embroidery or sewing black beads.

Blush

Do not apply blush with paints - unlike eyes, a failed result will be difficult to hide or redo. Use regular blush.

This completes the face of an ordinary Tilda doll. When sewing animals, you can add a mouth - it can be embroidered with thread.

The history of the appearance of the tilde toy

Tilda toys were born not so long ago - in the late 90s in Norway. Their “mother” was the then unknown Scandinavian needlewoman Toni Finanger, who made the first rag doll from scrap materials and scraps.

Toni was so carried away by her cute creations that she could not stop at several works and in 1999 she published two thematic books “Tilda Christmas” and “Tilda Easter”.

In this way the girl shared with the craftswomen from different countries patterns and own experience manufacturing Tilda. From that moment on, real “tildomania” began all over the world.

The name "Tilda" quickly turned into a brand that defines the whole style direction in fabrics, accessories, clothing, interior design. No one was surprised by the phrase “Tilde-colored dress” or “Tilde-style table setting.”

Gradually, a whole industry began to grow in Europe for the production of special fabrics, tools, accessories, and sets for needlewomen who are fond of sewing primitive toys in the “Tilda” style.

The simplicity of the work allows everyone to start creating primitive toys: experienced craftswomen, beginners, and even those who have no sewing experience at all. The main thing is desire and a little imagination, which will make each craft unique.

Having decided to sew your first doll, you should not immediately run to the store for special fabrics and tools. It is better to first “comb through” the household bins that every woman has.

From old children's things it is quite possible to make original and beautiful clothes for tildes. All sorts of interesting buttons, ribbons, and appliqués will come in handy. The main requirement for materials is that they be natural, because naturalness and environmental friendliness are distinctive feature tilde toys.

To create a tilde with your own hands for beginners, we can recommend this minimum set materials:

• base fabric for the body (linen, cotton, calico, fleece, flannel);
• fabrics for sewing doll clothes (from silk and wool to knitwear and terry);
• well sharpened scissors;
• sewing needle and threads of suitable colors;
• stuffing material (sintapon, holofiber);
• accessories for decoration (beads, ribbons, flowers, etc.).

Sewing tilde: secrets of mastery

Sewing a tilde is a fun and simple process that calms you down and gives you a good mood, especially when you can see the end result.

Body tailoring

A special feature of tilde dolls is the use of beige fabrics for sewing the body. If you couldn’t find a suitable one, that’s not a problem. You can use it to paint in desired shade any white piece of fabric. There is even a plus here - a doll sewn from such fabric will not only be beautiful, but also fragrant. In some cases, the toy is specially scented by sewing fragrant scents into them.

Having selected a suitable pattern, we transfer it to the fabric, cut it out, not forgetting the seam allowances, and begin sewing. If there is sewing machine- this is good, but if not, we connect the parts manually with small, neat stitches, because the creator of tildes makes them only by hand.

It’s not for nothing that tildes are called toys self made and are not mass produced in sewing workshops. Most tildos have a seam in the middle on the body, so you need to sew it very carefully.

Head

The head of toys, as a rule, comes in one piece with the body, but the arms and legs need to be sewn on separately. When all the parts are sewn and stuffed, we put them together. Handles can be sewn on as hidden seam to the body, and with the help of buttons that ensure their mobility. The legs of dolls (not hares and rabbits) are sewn with several stitches in the knee area so that they can be bent and the toy can be seated in the desired position.

Cloth

Clothes for classic “primitives” are usually made from natural fabrics pastel colors in a small pattern, flowers, stripes or polka dots. It should be noted that tildes are real fashionistas! Every season, designers develop new collections of fabrics and fabrics especially for them.

Patterns for overalls, jackets, dresses, hats can be found in Toni Finanger’s books, on specialized forums and websites on the Internet, or you can come up with them yourself.

The popularity of interior dolls has led to the fact that today sewing them can become a good source of additional or even main income. Sewn dolls are usually sold through special Internet platforms for needlewomen, their own websites, social media or in souvenir toy shops. Experienced craftswomen They also work to order.
