The pattern taken from the Internet is transferred to paper and cut out along the contour. Then all the elements are applied to the body fabric, folded in half with the right side inward. The pattern details are redrawn onto the material. Advice - to prevent the material from bunching up, you can secure it with pins. Further work process:
- All elements are machine-stitched along the edges. To fill the doll with padding polyester, leave small holes.
- Each element is cut at a distance of five millimeters from the seams. On the folds, scissors make small cuts perpendicular to the seams. This keeps them from bunching up.
- All parts of Tilda are turned right side out with a stick or wire.
- The toy is filled with filler, leaving one unfilled centimeter in the legs and arms. Otherwise, the baby’s arms will be open and she will not be able to sit.
- The legs are sewn into the body, and blind stitches are used to sew on the arms.
- Place marks on the places of future eyes. The needle and thread are passed through the top of the head and brought out at the marked point. The first eye is embroidered, then the needle is brought out at the second mark, the second eye is made. Once completed, the thread comes out from the crown and is cut.
- Prepare a strand of hair thread. Each consists of four threads - hairs. The length is up to the master’s taste, and so is the color. You need quite a lot of strands to make Tilde's voluminous hairstyle.
- Each strand is sewn individually using a needle back stitch, moving towards the back of the head. You can create various hairstyles from the doll's hair - ponytails, braids and others.
- To create a dress, two rectangular shapes are cut out, taking into account the neckline. The skirt also consists of two rectangles. The top of the dress is sewn down along the hangers. To trim the edges of the neckline and sleeves, use bias tape or satin ribbon.
- The skirt is sewn so that there are folds on it. This will make the outfit look more voluminous. The edges are hemmed. Pastel bows and ribbon flowers are used for decoration. The outfit is worn by Tilda.
- Socks are sewn according to a separate leg pattern. Knitwear is used for sewing, and ribbons are used for decoration. Baby Tilda is ready!
