Tilda dolls are a modern type of needlework that came to us from the Scandinavian countries, to be more precise, from Finland. The creator of the style on the basis of which this direction is based is the Norwegian designer Tone Finanger. It was she who in the 90s invented the Tilda brand, under which dolls are now made. These toys are characterized by calm and harmonious shades. All pupae have small black eyes and pink cheeks. Due to their simplicity and charm, Tilda dolls are very popular both among children and as interior toys. A pattern and a master class for making these wonderful dolls are posted on the Internet in a considerable amount.

I would like to dedicate today's master class to one of the charming toys in the Tilda style - dachshund. Dachshunds are cute, funny, funny, quirky dogs that both adults and children like. If you want to get yourself such a dog, but you don’t have such an opportunity at the moment, don’t be upset, make a wonderful Tilda dachshund with your own hands, which can become a good children’s toy and perfectly decorate the interior of any apartment. Below is a pattern that you can use. You can take any material for the toy, the main thing is that it harmoniously fits into your interior and is pleasant to the touch. And now, let's start the master class.

Tilda dachshund: making toys, master class

To create a dog, we will need:

  • Material for a dachshund and for a raincoat
  • Filler (synthetic winterizer or cotton wool)
  • Acrylic paints
  • Thread, needle, scissors, pins
  • Pattern

First of all, we, of course, need a pattern. We take and print it.


Now that the pattern is ready, we fold the fabric in half, attach the pattern, fix it with pins, and cut out the details (body and two ears).

In the same way, we cut out a raincoat for our dog, while folding the fabric so that one product comes out, as shown in the photo.



Next, we grind all the details, do not forget to leave a hole through which the body and ears will be stuffed. We fill the body with filler more densely, and fill the ears loosely, so that they hang, and we completely sew the details.

After that, we process the edges of the raincoat, having ironed them in advance, we sew it in front, and we put it on the so far earless dog.


We place the ears on the head, fix them with needles, and sew them with a hidden seam. Remember to make sure that the ears are symmetrical.

Now our master class will deal with accessories for the raincoat and the dachshund itself. To make a flower for a raincoat, take a rectangular piece of fabric, fold it in half and sew. We turn it on the front side, we pass the lace, with its help we pull the fabric, and sew the edges of the resulting “steering wheel”. You can put a bead in the middle of the flower. We sew our decoration to the cape.

If you wish, you can make a fashionable collar with a satin ribbon bow for the taxi driver.

It remains for us to draw the muzzle of a dachshund. We take acrylic paints, and apply black eyes and a nose, pink - we draw cheeks.

The master class is over, and what a nice little taxi we got! We wish you pleasant creativity and inexhaustible inspiration!

Consider the dog tilde pattern and make it on paper.

Now you can transfer to the fabric, in this case it is fleece.

Cut out the pattern for the head. First we sew the undercuts, and then we fold the two parts face to face, we cut them off with pins and we sew:

Now you can start preparing an outfit for our tilde dog.

This will require fabric, lace, thread

Cut out rectangles from two colors of fabric. The first corresponds to the size of the dog's body, the second is 2-3 times larger, depending on the width of the frill of the dress.
Sew lace to 1 piece, and assemble the second piece like a frill.

Sew details.

Cut another piece of fabric, larger than the second

We put the dress on our dog, making an assembly at the neck.

The dress can be decorated with satin ribbons or organza ribbons.

Also use beads or buttons as decoration.

Let's start sewing pants. Cut out the pieces by double stitching the bottom.

Pin together and stitch together

Tilda - rag toy with smooth silhouette lines, which may well become stylish decoration interior. Whoever Tilda is - a dog, an angel, a bunny - she has a rather conventional face with characteristic nodular eyes, close-set to each other, a small nose and rosy cheeks. In the process of its manufacture, you can not only have an interesting time, but also, as a result, prepare an exclusive gift for a loved one for any holiday.

Since the Dog will be the symbol of the approaching 2018, a gift in the form of a cute Tilda-style dog will be especially relevant for the upcoming New Year. And the main charm is that you can make a Tilda dog with your own hands according to the proposed master classes with minimal effort and the presence of ordinary materials. You can be sure that the dog will be equally interesting for both a child and an adult.

The first step is to make a pattern of Tilda's dog. It can be circled from the screen on the photo, redrawn by hand or printed out the drawing below on an A4 sheet, and then cut out each element with scissors.

  • 3 pieces of fabric: plain (fleece can be used) - for the body and 2 types of color (for the dress);
  • pencil or chalk;
  • scissors;
  • tailor's pins;
  • floss threads for decorating the muzzle;
  • needle and thread;
  • lace, satin ribbon, buttons (for decoration);
  • filler.

On a note! As a filler, it is recommended to use a synthetic winterizer, which is considered the most practical and easy-to-use material.

Manufacturing process

We fold the light plain fabric in half, pin the elements of the paper pattern to it with pins and circle them. Please note: if some elements need to be made in 2 copies, then we circle them twice on the folded material. Now we put aside the paper patterns and, without unfolding the fabric, we cut off each circled detail with pins, as in the photo below.

We cut out the part for the future head and first we sew the places of the tucks, and then we cut off both parts of it front side to each other and sew around the perimeter.

We first sew the rest of the fabric parts along the marked lines, and then cut them out, not forgetting to leave allowances of 5 mm.

On the details of the ears and limbs from the side that will touch the body, we make small cuts and turn the details through them.

We fill each detail with synthetic winterizer or other filler, evenly distributing it inside with a pencil, and sew up the manually made holes.

Now we begin to connect all the parts with each other. First we sew the ears to the head, and then we sew the head with the body with hidden stitches, as shown in the photo.

In the same way, we first fix with pins, and then sew the legs. If the stitches are not pulled together too tightly, later the legs can be easily raised and lowered or the future dog sit down.

Also, the limbs can be sewn on the principle of button fastening. To do this, we introduce a needle with a threaded thread from the wrong side of the leg, leaving a piece of thread about 15 cm long, sew the leg and pulling the thread through the button, we bring the needle to the other side of the body. We repeat such movements several times, while pulling the thread well, and wrap the seam at the place where the leg is attached with the tip left earlier (by analogy, we form the leg when sewing on buttons). Next, we insert the needle into the base of the leg and bring it out in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe middle seam of the body and, pulling it again, cut it off, leaving the tip inside the body.

At the next stage, we proceed to the manufacture of the outfit. To do this, we take a colored fabric and cut off two rectangles: the first color - according to the size of the body, the second - 2-3 times longer (depending on the desired splendor of the skirt). We sew a strip of lace to the upper part along the front side, and we make an assembly from the lower part.

We sew both parts of the future dress with machine stitching.

We measure another part 2-3 times longer than the length of the lower edge of the skirt, fold it in half and also assemble.

We sew the assembly along the bottom of the skirt, sew the outfit along the back seam and put the finished outfit on the body, gathering it in the upper part on a thread.

Optionally, we make decorations in the form of an organza belt and a satin ribbon bow.

It remains only to embroider a nose and mouth on the muzzle, outline the eyes.

You can also sew cute shoes for the toy or leave it as it is. That's all! Do-it-yourself dog Tilda is ready!

Based on the presented pattern, you can make many options for Tilda dogs. It is enough just to make changes to the design and you will get a completely different, no less cute dog. For example, you can take light brown fleece as the main material for the body, and make a heart and neckerchief out of fabric with a floral pattern as decoration.

Dachshund in tilde style

To sew such a tax you will need:

  • A4 sheet (for patterns);
  • 3 types of fabric: plain for the body (you can use cotton, coarse calico, gabardine) and 2 cuts of other colors for the cape and for the decoration flower;
  • bead, ribbon (for decoration);
  • needle and thread;
  • filler;
  • tassel;
  • acrylic paints;
  • blush and cotton swab.

So, let's get to work.

We print the life-size details of the tilde dog pattern presented below on A4 sheets.

We fold a piece of plain fabric in half and mark out the details of the body and two ears.

We take the material for the future cape, fold it in half and apply the pattern along the fold of the upper edge, in order to end up with a single piece, as shown in the photo.

We sew the details of the body and ears, leaving a small area not stitched for the subsequent stuffing of the toy.

We begin to tightly fill the body of the dog with synthetic winterizer. To fill the ears, we make small cuts on the inside and put a small amount of filler into them. After stuffing, we sew up all the remaining holes with hidden stitches.

We hem the edges of the cape around the entire perimeter (for convenience, you can pre-smooth them with an iron), we connect the upper parts with a seam and put it on the still earless dog.

We fasten the ears on the sides of the head with tailor's pins and then sew them with a hidden seam from the inside. In this case, it is necessary to check their symmetrical arrangement.

For a floral decoration, cut out a rectangle measuring 10x20cm, fold it in half with the right side inward and sew. We turn the resulting part inside out, insert a braid or lace and tighten it, forming a flower, and sew its edges together. Decorate the center as you wish. large bead and sew the flower itself to the cape.

Now draw the dog face: acrylic paints mark the nose and eyes. To make the nose even, you can apply on each side paper strip as a stencil. With the help of powder or blush, we make a light blush. As a result, we get such a beautiful dog Tilda, as in this photo:

To enjoy not only the work, but also the final result, we recommend using the following tips when making a Tilda dog with your own hands:

  • Choose for body tailoring fabric from natural colors(milk, terracotta, sand, beige). If not suitable color, can be shaded white cloth to the desired tone with coffee or tea. If desired, you can add cinnamon or vanilla to them to give a pleasant aroma.
  • Use a high-quality filler for stuffing (holofiber or synthetic winterizer) and do not save on its quantity. If the amount of stuffing is insufficient, the Tilda dog will quickly lose its spectacular appearance.
  • For stuffing long limbs and uniform distribution of the filler, it is convenient to use plastic straw or a sushi stick.
  • In the process of making clothes and accessories, show your imagination: use any materials, embroidery, appliqués. As accessories, you can put a bone, a bouquet of flowers or any other object in the paws.

The collective "tildo madness" began in 1999 after the publication of two books by Tone Finanger (Tonne Finanger) - "Tilda Christmas" and "Tilda Easter".

Almost ten years later, the brand has become so popular that thousands of needlework devices (fabrics, threads, buttons, patterns) are sold all over the world under the Tilda brand. Other designers work in a similar technique (in particular, the Russian woman Oksana Yarmolnik), but still the dolls from Tony (this is how the name of Fraulein Finanger tildoman is pronounced in the Russian way) are distinguished by their inherent individuality. Each figure has its own - and rather wayward - character and prefers to be called by its name. The look unites the dolls - it is by the black beady eyes that you can determine whether the doll you are holding in your hands is a tilde, or is it just a stylized exhibit.

For sewing dolls are used mainly natural fabrics- linen, cotton, coarse calico, wool, flannel, felt. Any material is suitable for tildic clothing - jeans, chintz, etc. rustic colors. Drawing - a strip, a cage, a flower ornament - and no lurex!

For stuffing toys, synthetic winterizer, synthetic winterizer, holofiber ... and calcined buckwheat (to weight the figure) are used. Craftswomen recommend not to spare money for sofa cushion stuffed with synthetic fluff - its contents are enough for six or seven dolls twenty-five centimeters tall.

Seams can be sewn either by machine or by hand. The density of the seams depends on the material from which the figure is made. For knitwear, it is recommended to lay the seams with interlining - then when stuffing the toy, the seam will remain uniform.

Toys for the living room and bedroom can be used as a sachet: if you add a vanilla pod or cinnamon stick to the stuffing material, the air in the room will be saturated with a Christmas scent.

To make the fabric for the legs and arms of the tildik men acquire a flesh color, it can be dyed. As dyes, you can use tea leaves and regular instant coffee. A piece of material (linen or coarse calico) is boiled in water for ten minutes along with a dye, then dried - and the future doll acquires an even Mediterranean tan.

Fairy hair can be made from Plush yarn: it is not suitable for knitting - it rolls and crumple, and the tilde hairstyle of a young lady turns out to be disheveled and very characteristic of this type of doll.

To make the cheeks of the toy play with a blush, you can use the usual loose blush - without the oil component. Before dyeing the doll, it is worth trying to apply blush on a fabric sample - you will immediately see how they will fall on the tildik (whether they will be smeared or crumbled). If there is no blush at hand, the dye can be made from an ordinary children's pencil - scrape the lead with a blade and blend with a cotton swab.

Curly mustaches for cats, dogs and pajama men are perfectly obtained from a thin wire wrapped in floss threads.

Any handmade thing is considered not only exclusive, but also “alive” because a piece of soul, warmth, energy was sewn into every detail. Interesting toys tilda cats, bunnies, cubs, chickens will decorate any home, will serve as a wonderful gift.

Creating a tilde with your own hands will not take much time, but the result will please you for a long time. In many magazines, on the Internet, there is a large selection of full-size cat tilde patterns, with which you can easily sew a toy.

Many needlewomen use a full-size tilde cat pattern to create a hare toy, adjust their ears - increase to right size or take finished pattern bunny.

The pattern is pressed tightly against the fabric, circled with chalk, allowances are taken into account when cutting. They are stitched along the drawn line, the places on the cat pattern indicated by the dotted line are left unstitched, through them the details are turned on the front side. The next step is to carefully iron all the seams. All parts are filled with filler, so that each element is soft, it is not worth stuffing tightly, the toy may break. Further, unstitched places are carefully sewn by hand. All parts are assembled into one product.
Sometimes patterns of clothes for the tilde of a cat, a hare and others are added to the main patterns of toys.

It is not necessary to sew outfits according to the proposed schemes, you can come up with an original costume yourself.

Before taking a tilde cat pattern, cut the fabric and sit down at sewing machine, you should read the recommendations of people with experience in sewing tildes, perhaps many tips will help you avoid problems when creating a toy, while others will encourage you to create, for example, clothes for cats, an interesting design.

All seams are made only from the wrong side, otherwise the toy will look sloppy.

It is necessary to leave allowances for all seams, if the thing is sewn for the first time, it is recommended to leave from 0.5 cm, for more experienced - 0.3 cm. If the allowance is large, at the end of the work, the excess fabric is cut off, leaving 0.3 cm to the seam.

From the whole variety of types and forms of tilde, they choose the one that they like best, they have almost the same complexity. The tilde cat pattern can be downloaded from the Internet, which opens up the possibility of adjusting the size of the future toy. With the help of graphic editors on a computer, you can enlarge, compress, stretch the pattern to the required size.

Material for cats, their clothes are washed and ironed before cutting.

When sewing a cat with your own hands in places of parts with a fold, in rounded places, notches should be made on the allowance, this eliminates the formation of wrinkles and irregularities.

The finished part is turned out with a long object with a blunt rounded end (pencil, pen), if you take a pointed long object, you can tear the fabric.

For the filler, one material is chosen for all details, for these purposes it has proven itself well - synthetic winterizer, synthetic winterizer, alpolux, holofiber.

When making a muzzle, black small beads are chosen for the eyes, and dark threads for embroidery are selected for the nose and mouth. In principle, the face can be drawn with a thin black marker or fabric paint.
