Beautiful teddy bear Tilda made by yourself will cheer you up and be a good gift for a friend
Welcome to my master class on techniqueTilda! For those who are just starting to work in this area, I would like to offer as a first trial work - to create Tilda bears. They are very interesting and not difficult to make, and the result is impressive, especially if you make a variety of decor. And if we talk about the sewing itself and the time spent on it, then the Tilda bear is made very quickly, much faster than many other products that are made in this technique. Today, without straining too much, we will perform this wonderful work - we will create a Teddy Bear. This work will not be difficult, since there are not many details here and a very simple pattern. For work we will need:
- fabric of the same color,
- needle,
- scissors,
- thread,
- ribbon for decoration,
- bead for decoration,
- black thread floss,
- filler for toys.
Before you start working on anytextile toy, first of all we need to find a suitable pattern for it. This pattern for the Tilda bear needs to be cut out and placed on the fabric folded in half face inward. Next, you need to outline it or with dry soap and pin it with pins. Then carefully, adding allowances, you need to cut it out along the contour and sew it. If you want, you can stitch along the line at the very beginning, and only then, taking into account the allowances, cut out the finished workpiece. It depends on your preferences, there are no strict requirements here. The Tilda bear pattern can be found on the Internet on any handicraft site - this is not hidden information, but quite accessible to everyone. In addition, there is also a whole series of author's books on Tilda dolls, but, unfortunately, for financial reasons, not everyone can buy it, although many have a desire. Of course, it is very convenient to have such a book available. You can always turn to her for ideas or help, to learn something new for yourself. However, recently needlewomen increasingly use master classes that they find on various sites. In the same way, in our case, you can enjoy watching a master class on creating a Tilda bear, thoroughly study each step of the work and analyze your mistakes, if any, in your work. Our site can also become such an assistant. Here you will find a lot of useful schemes, tips and recommendations. In addition, you do not need to pay for this information, as in the case of a book. All our materials are selected according to categories and levels. So if you want to make Tilda dolls, look for schemes on our site. So, let's get started! First, we must print out our pattern.
Next, you need to cut out this pattern using scissors.
This is the bear pattern we got!
Take the fabric and fold it in half, right sides together.
Place the cut out pattern on top of it andWe carefully pin it with sewing pins. This is necessary so that as we transfer the pattern, it does not shift at the most inopportune moment.
We outline the contours of our pattern using a pencil, ideally chalk or, as mentioned above, dry soap.
Pay attention to the marked place for filling the toy. We do not touch it at all when stitching.
Now we start working with machine stitching.We carefully stitch our bear, smoothly rounding the turns so that when turning it inside out, no sharp differences or various “square” corners are visible.
This is what we get as a result, after all the work done.
Next, we cut everything out, leaving half a millimeter around the edges.
As usual, we cut or notch our turns with scissors so that our work looks neat when turned inside out – no “pinches” or folds are formed.
Now we begin to gradually turn our toy inside out, starting from the far corners.
This is such a wonderful bear – our blank should turn out inside out.
Then we start filling the bear, today I am using horofiber as a filler.
This is how we completely filled our pet, while leaving space for filling - not stitched.
And carefully sweep away our remaining piece of the teddy bear with an invisible – hidden seam.
Without finishing sewing, we fill this side of the bear with a little more chlorofiber, so that it is denser. After that, we finally close, that is, sew up our hole.
In order to hide the thread well, weFirst we secure it with a fastener, and then we pass the needle and thread through the bear's body and cut it at the root. Thus, we have hidden the end of the thread inside our toy.
Now we can start decorating our toy – we embroider eyes on it using floss. To do this, take one thread and fold it in half. As shown in the picture.
We insert the needle into the place where the bear’s first eye will be located.
We thread our thread with a needle through the loop and tighten it – this is how we secured the first eye. Thus, we carefully embroider his eye.
After making the first eye, without tearing off the thread, pierce it with a needle to the place of the second one.
And we embroider the second eye.
We also use the fastener to hide oursend of the thread, piercing the body with a needle and thread - we cut it off at the root. We proceed to finishing the first paw of our toy. We draw, or rather, stitch the paw - as shown in the picture.
Then the second one, and this is what we should get!
We decorate the lower limbs in the same way as the upper ones.
As a result, we get this beautiful little bear with highlighted upper and lower paws!
We take a ribbon in our hands and tie it around our neck. First, we tie it once.
One more time to secure our knot.
And we form a bow. This is what we got.
For decoration, we sew on our bead - insert the needle under the bottom of the bow - this is where our bead will be located.
We insert a bead onto the needle.
And we continue stitching, then we secure it in that place.
For pendants it is better to use beads of different shades.
We string it on a thin needle – a special one for beads, otherwise they will not pass through the place where the eye is located.
At the end we hang more small beads and thus form two pendants. This is how it should turn out.
Actually, we have everything ready! Look what a wonderful teddy bear we made! Our golden hands can be proud of their creation!
I hope everything worked out for you! See you at the new master classes!
