Tilda is not the name of a doll, as some canto think, this is a brand invented by a young pretty girl from Norway Tony Finanger. Tildes can be dolls-young ladies, any animals, birds, hearts, eggs and even flowers. Tony created a huge magical world where all sorts of tildes live. She wrote and published more than ten books in which she shares her secrets on how to sew a tilde doll with her own hands. But this craftsman seemed a little. Now the brand "Tilda" has spread to patchwork and scrapbooking. If it can create a tilde, then each of us can. You just need to really want and try hard.
Tools for work
To make any craft, you need materials, and for most gizmos there are also tools. To sew a tilde yourself, you will definitely need:
1. Scissors.
2. Needles and pins.
3. Pencil, chalk or soap.
4. Thin long stick. It is useful to turn the product on the front side and fill it with filler.
5. An iron.
6. Sewing machine (if any).
7. Scotch tape.
Materials
The type of material depends on which dollTilda with your own hands you are going to make. If it's a little creature, you'll need fabrics that are suitable for her calf. Not bad come out animals from terry cloth, velvet, velor. But simple cotton and linen also look good. To create girls and ladies you need cotton, linen or cotton cloth, in color close to the body. You can take white and color it in tea. So, the materials for creating a girl need the following:
1. Cloth. Dimensions such as the size of the doll you need. Do not forget that the fabric will need to be folded in half.
2. Threads for sewing. Ideally, if they are matched to the tone of the fabric.
3. Threads for your lady's hairstyle. It can be a wool for knitting, boucle (the girl will turn out with curls), synthetic thick threads, if you want to make a lady extravagant.
4. Filling agent.More often use sintepon or holofayber. If there is neither one nor the other, you can cut small pieces of old pantyhose. Vatu is best not to take, because it is difficult to fill the body of the doll evenly.
5. Paper.
6. Fabrics for clothing dolls.
7. All kinds of accessories. What will it be: ribbons, beads, lace, beads or something else - your fantasy will tell.
Preparation for work
They say that the result of any business will be good,if properly prepared for it. Before you start directly to build a tilde, you need to iron the fabric for her future body, gently fold it twice with the front side inward and pound it with pins so she does not fidget. The next step is to imagine what it will be like, your tilde doll. Patterns to do by yourself, if there are no ready ones, this is a separate creative process. You need to take a sheet of paper, you can cardboard, and you can use ordinary paper. On her draw a full-sized contour of the doll's body with the head, two hands and two legs. You can draw one hand and foot, and then transfer them to the fabric twice. A distinctive feature of the tilde design is a seam in the middle of the face or face. Therefore, the contours of the trunk are drawn sideways. On his head loomed his nose. Some sew dolls with flat faces and sew details on the sides, but the classic tilde still has a facial suture.
Handles, legs, cucumber
Preparation is over. We begin to create a doll tilda with our own hands. The master class offered in this article tells how to make a tilde-girl:
1. Carefully cut out the outline of her body from the paper.
2. We put them on the fabric.
3. We circle. Cut is not in a hurry.
4.Straighten or stitch by hand on drawn lines. Be sure to leave the underside of the lower body, arms and legs in places of attachment to the body. You also need to consider that the face will seam and sostrachivat this place with special care.
5. We iron it all with an iron.
6. Now we cut out, necessarily retreating from the edge. In places where the lines are rounded, it is preferable to make small incisions.
7. We turn to the front side.If the arms and legs of the tilde are too thin, they are conveniently turned with a sushi stick. Also, you can attach a long tight thread to the "fingers" on the inside. In order to unscrew the handle or leg, you just need to pull this thread.
Giving volume
As a result of the work done, it should turn outa trunk with a head, two legs and two handles. We proceed to fill them. This business is not as simple as it might seem. If you shove the filler inadvertently, the girl's body will turn out to be hummocky. If it is not enough to put it, eventually it will be destroyed. If you overdo it, the doll will not be able to sit, it will only lie or stand, leaning against the support. Therefore, to make toys tildes with their own hands were created correctly, the filler should be taken just enough so that the body turned out to be stable and at the same time soft enough.
Filling your arms and legs, start with your fingers.For this it is convenient to use a thin stick. We lace the knees, leaving them without filler. Then the tilde can put his feet in any position. To the doll was comfortable to sit, at the place of attaching the legs to the body of the filler, you can insert a little less. Inserted? Now we collect a whole body from parts. Some handymen do not sew their hands to the body, but make them on buttons.
Hairstyle
You can make a tilde in a hat or cap, likegnomes. But, according to the widely recognized opinion, hair is an ornament of any woman. The tilde doll, created by oneself, is no exception. So let's make a wig for her. The length, color and texture of the hair depends only on your imagination. The threads chosen for the hair should be carefully laid out in one layer and centered on them with a strip of scotch. Next, on the center of the scotch "hair" neatly stitch twice. Remove the Scotch tape, and attach the obtained lining to the doll's head and sew it gently. In this case, the parting will be in the middle. You can make it to the right or left. Hair can be left even, but you can braid in braids or tie your tails. There are also masters who sew their tilde hair to their heads, a stitch after stitch - each thread separately.
Makeup
Your doll is almost ready. It remains to make her face.From the way you position your eyes, draw or sew your mouth, how to break your cheeks, its character will depend. Yes, yes, these dolls are just like that. Your tilde, created by your own hands, can turn out to be a naive simpleton, a kind angel, a sweet coquette or grumbling sarcasm. Therefore, create her face with special diligence and inspiration. The eyes of the tilde are embroidered. As a rule, no beads, no buttons, no beads are attached to their place. Very rarely do tildes with eyelashes, but this is more likely an exception. The color of the eyes can be, like people, any. But they often make them dark. The mouth is drawn with a pencil or embroidered with threads. Good tildes always smile. Cheeks can easily be browned with the usual lady's blush. Here, perhaps, that's all. The naked tilde lies before you in all its glory.
The main thing is that the suit is sitting
There is a saying: "Meet on the clothes."So your tilde, to please the eye, should be decently dressed. The style of her outfit is your personal business. You can make a doll's coquette out of a doll, dressing her in a short skirt and a T-shirt top, and put the legs in shoes. You can create from her a simple girl, sewing her a dress with a small pattern, a lush skirt and sleeves, flashlights, tie an apron, put her socks on her feet. There are lots of options. Some masters, when they create dolls with their own hands, sewn sutures to their body. Probably, it is convenient from some positions. But you can not sew and do not sew, and put on a tilde, like any other doll. In addition to dresses and skirts, shoes are created for them, and sometimes headwear. Shoes are more often made from shoes. To do this, from any dense material, cut out the sole of a slipper, commensurate with the size of the doll's foot. Of any soft material, two thin strips are cut out and attached to the soles. Here to you and sneakers. If desired, you can refine them with beads. In addition, a tilde can sew lace knickers and fishnet stockings.
