How to make a hare-tilde pattern?

The designer, needlewoman Tony Finnanger created in 1999 her first textile toys under the brand name "Tilda". These are popular rabbits, which fell in love with Russian craftsmen, fairies, Santa Claus, animals, snails, cats, bathers, Easter dolls. In all models the author's idea slips, which will be described in detail below, also we will offer a simple pattern of a hare-tilde.

Features of toy-tilde

• All models are coffee colors. Body, arms, legs, face of the same shade of tanned skin. To achieve this, many craftsmen paint white fabric with tea brew, onion infusions.
• Clothes are taken bright, with different patterns, but not acid colors. Such patches can be found in patchwork kits.
• Toys can be any size, but always bulky. Most often the limbs, shoulders, head, neck are narrow, and the hips are wide.
• Patterns for rabbit-tilde, dolls, snails, cats, sheep, deer are very simple, even schematic. Most often given are the templates of hands, feet, ears, trunk with the head, as well as male, female, children's clothing.
• The faces of all types are schematic: embroidered eyes with dots, a small nose with a triangle or a relief, a blush created by blush, paints. Sometimes the mouth is embroidered with a dash, an arc.
• Tilda is not just a toy and an element of decor, but an entire "encyclopedia." Each model carries its own thematic idea, has a complete, concise image. Wedding dolls are equipped with all the necessary attributes, couples - children, home, furniture, Christmas toys - festive elements ...

How to make a hare-tilde pattern ?

On the fabric folded twice, translate the templates of the paws, ears, trunk with the head. From the drawing line from all sides you need to leave a maximum of 3-4 centimeters on the allowances (if the material is not loose, then a couple of millimeters from the seam will be enough).

Many masters of fabric pin with pins, the planned lines are stitched with a machine stitch. Then, with the scissors, the details are cut, taking into account the allowances. Then the stitch is ironed so that it does not fray, all parts of the body are turned out to be a "face".

They fill with sintepon, holofayberom, and buckwheat. The paws, when connected to the trunk filler, are not filled completely, to gently sew by a hidden seam. In order for the hare to stand, one thick wire, bent by an arc, is inserted into the legs. Paws (wire arc) insert into the trunk, fasten with pins, treat with a secret stitch.

The face is created after the whole rabbit is sewn to maintain the harmony of the whole image. That is, first they make all the details of the toy, then make patterns for the tilde hares, dress them up, then embroider the face, sew the ears.

In that dress up hares?

Clothes make from pastel, but bright materials. At the girl and the boy the figure should be in harmony. For example, a girl has striped underpants, a bodice of a sarafan, a hat's bend, an inner part of her ears, then the boy's ears, a cap, a jumpsuit, a pant leg have the same pattern. Usually dolls of small size (no more than 20 centimeters), therefore pieces of a fabric will approach.

The rabbit-boy will have a coveralls, a cap. It is easy to summer clothes for a tiger-hare. Patterns of overalls consist of trousers, gear and straps. Make a pattern of trousers of a free cut. Measure the volume of the tummy, the distance from the navel to the end of the trunk. Determine the length of the paws. Pants for toys of this brand are always higher than the ankles (about a third).

The boy's pants will be with a lapel from another fabric, so keep this in mind when transferring the pattern. Make two pieces of the trousers from the checkered material, and the lapel from the burgundy rectangles. Connect all the parts.

Then from the striped fabric make the top of the overalls, sew the resulting rectangle to the pants in the middle. To the striped pockets, attach straps of checkered fabric with buttons.

Final details of the hare-boy

Note that the overalls are "driven" on the toy. If the hare performs a decorative role, then the dress can be swept to the body with a few stitches. This is necessary if you want to emphasize the direction of clothing, cover the seams. It remains to sew the cap to get the whole kit. The clothes for the tilde-hare are created without difficulties.

Patterns of the cap resemble a mushroom cap, and the inner part of the temples is cut off. The cap is made of two types of fabric: monochrome maroon and striped. As soon as you sew "mushroom" and "cut off" parts, then stitch them together. The "cut off" part is the reverse of the cap. Create a boat shape.

Now attach the ears to the hare, put on the cap. Experiment with the different inclination of the headgear, the position of the ears. Then fix each part with pins.

Next, with a pencil, mark the closely-set dots-eyes, nose-triangle, mouth. Symmetry is created thanks to the trunk seam. Mouline, embroider with iris the parts of the face. Paint a blush and blush. The last step is to sew the ears, the cap to the head. Everything, we have considered a pattern of a hare-tilde in full.

Pattern of clothes for girls

The particularity of the patterns of clothing lies in its simplicity and versatility. That is, one pattern can be used for different models. In our example, women's underpants are sewn on a pattern of a man's overalls, a hat - on a pattern of a cap, and straps, a bodice of a sarafan - on top of a overall.

Panties sew from striped fabric in full length in the same way as male trousers, only without lapels. Stitch inner seams, put on a rabbit-girl. The bottom of the trousers is baited, pulls along the paw, and with the darts you process the top of the underpants.

Next, make patterns of dresses for hares-tildes:

• Cut two rectangles of burgundy, checkered fabric.
• Connect the two parts.
• From the striped, checkered material, cut out the hearts that will decorate the bottom of the sarafan.
• Sew evenly the hearts on burgundy fabric.
• Cut the bodice in a rectangular shape from the striped fabric, and the straps from the checkered material.
• Process them, sew them to the sundress.

Now put on an outfit on a hare, on a figure sew straps, darts on a dress. The hat is sewn in the same way as the cap, only worn in a different way, like a female hat.

How to make a hare-tilde with your own hands: patterns of winter dress

In the autumn, in the winter, dolls can sew warm models. The girl will be dressed in underpants, a skirt, a sweater, a cap, felt boots. The skirt will not start at the waist, but immediately under the paws. From the checkered fabric, cut a wide rectangle, from one side of which sew the decorative braid, stitch along the width. Put on the skirt on the hare, protect the wrinkles with the pins, treat it with a hidden seam.

Next, go to the sweater, in which the hare-tilde will be dressed. The clothes for the boy and girl will be the same. On paper, draw an ordinary sweater according to the size of your toy with a long collar, which will then be folded. Cut out two pieces of clothing, sew the edges. You sew three snowflakes in front, put on a hare, bending the gate.

Now from a soft fabric you sew a hat. Just cut the rectangle, connect the opposite edges. String on one side, sew a pompom, and on the other hand, turn the cap. Side embroider a flower. Boots sew on a pattern of paws hare, adding 2-3 cm, in addition to the allowance. Male winter set of sweaters, hats, boots make the same.

Rattles of a hare-tilde

Make a hare-tilde pattern in the form of a rattle is even easier. For velvet, velveteen or other soft material, translate 3 details: ears in the form of a propeller, a head with a short neck, a "ring". Every detail needs to be done in double quantity. For the inside of the ears, take the cotton / linen. Also you will need bells, satin ribbons.

First, you grind all the details together. You fill the head and ring with a sintepon. In each ear, put one or two bells, close the seam. You sew your head to the ring. On top of the neck you tie a bow from a satin ribbon, fix it with threads.

Then sew your ears to your head. Pencil your eyes, nose, mouth. Now, with a moulin, embroider all the parts of the face with iris. Rattle-tilde is ready. Pay attention to the following points:

• Do not make eyes from beads, buttons, as a child can swallow them.
• If you use decorative bows, hats, then sew a "dead" seam.
• Choose the size of the toy such that the child was comfortable to take with his hands.
• Do not paint your cheeks with paint, blush.

Thick rabbit-tilde

The voluminous fat hare looks like a pyramid. It will take 15 parts:

• 4 parts for paws, ears;
• 2 details for the tail, head and neck, lateral parts of the trunk;
• 1 before.

From these details you will get a hare-tilde. The clothing pattern is represented by 4 elements:

• One backrest;
• Two halves of transmission;
• One collar;
• Two sleeves.

Begin your work with a rabbit. Sew at the seams three parts of the trunk. Fill it with a sintepon, you get a three-dimensional triangle. Next, connect the parts of the tail, fill with holofayber, sew to the body. Also do with the front paws. If you want them to bend, in the area of the elbow, sew a line and insert the wire there.

Now connect the details of the head, fill it with sintepon, attach it to the trunk. From above, attach straight ears, in which there is a wire frame. Then go on sewing kurtochki-raspashonki. First, sew the shoulder bends and sleeves on the armhole, then go to the collar, finish stitching the side seams. You put on a rabbit, decorate the buttons. The last step is to embroider your face and apply blush.
