Tilda toys are quite popular for several years now. People, angels and even animals are made in this style. Today we invite you to find out how a tilde cat is made, whether a pattern is needed for this or not, and also how you can diversify the toy.

Features of tilde cats

The tilda cat soft toy is distinguished by its cute appearance. To create such crafts, as a rule, bright and natural fabrics are used. As a result, the toy is not only beautiful, but also soft and pleasant to the touch.

Tilde cats consist of a small number of parts. Quite often, the body, paws, tail and head are represented as one whole. Sometimes some details can be sewn separately (for example, a tail).

Choice of material and tools

As mentioned above, natural fabrics are chosen for these cute toys. Most often cotton or linen is used. Sometimes tilde cats are made from burlap. But, as a rule, only the body is sewn from this material, which is then decorated with colored clothes. You can also choose soft flannel.

Hollofiber is chosen as a filleror synthetic winterizer. Its quantity depends on the size of the toy. It should not be filled too tightly, but so that at the same time it retains volume.

Additional materials that may be useful for creating a tilde cat:

• toys and small figurines made of wood or plastic;
• curly and regular buttons;
• ribbon lace;
• satin ribbons;
• beads, rhinestones, sequins;
• other accessories.

The only tools needed are scissors and a needle and thread. To attach some decor, sometimes do not place the glue gun. You will also need a sushi stick or a pencil. With the help of such a tool it is convenient to distribute the synthetic winterizer over the toy.

Tilda cat pattern

Without a template, it will be very difficult to make a beautiful toy. Moreover, having made the blank once on cardboard or from oilcloth, it can also be used for subsequent crafts.

Do-it-yourself tilde cat pattern from fabric is quite simple. As mentioned above, the toy consists of a minimum of parts, so the template is a small number of parts.

First, decide what your tilde will look like. Will she stand on two or four legs, will she look like a little man or not, and so on. You can even sketch. Then try to figure out how many pieces will be sewn on. That is, whether the head, body, tail and paws will be one or not. When the idea has become clear, it must be embodied on a piece of paper. drawthe outline of the cat you want.

Select the parts that will be attached separately with a different color. Now divide the pattern into parts. In the example in the picture above, you can see that the tilde cat consists of the following parts: body, head, paw-leg, paw-handle, tail, ear. Each part must be cut in the amount of two pieces, but the ears and paws need four.

The easiest toy

If you are not yet strong in building patterns and sewing, then we suggest you make such a simple toy. Such a tilde cat consists of only the following elements:

• back of torso with head;
• two pieces of paws;
• two tail pieces;
• torso;
• two parts of the head.

Next, our master class will show how to sew a tilde:

1. Transfer the pattern to the fabric. Remember that to create a fabric toy, you need to cut out one back (torso and head), two halves of the front of the head and tail, and four parts of the paws.
2. Sew the legs, tail and halves of the head in pairs, leaving small holes so that the pieces can be turned inside out.
3. Sew the front of the head to the body.
4. Turn the stitched parts inside out and fill them with filler, carefully distributing it in parts.
5. Attach the legs to the back of the toy with pins. Put the front part on top and sew them together, remembering to leave a small opening.
6. Turn the toy inside out and push the stuffing in.
7. Sew on the tail.
8. Connect the pawswith a decorative item (such as a pillow or bouquet).
9. Make a muzzle. To do this, use threads (embroider eyes, nose and mouth with satin stitch) or small beads.

Craft is ready! Similarly, you can make an angel cat. You just need to sew wings on the back, and a heart on the front.

Sleepy cat

In the same way as the tilde cat from the master class above, a sleepy cat is made. To create it, you will need to make the following fabric details: the back of the body with the head, the front of the torso, two halves of the head, two halves of the tail, four parts of the legs.

Cut out all the "spare parts" and sew together the details of the tail, muzzle and tail. Then sew the "face" to the body. Connect the front and back of the body, leaving an opening.

Turn out all parts and fill them with filler. Now darn the holes. Sew the tail and paws to the body. Embroider the muzzle: closed eyes, mouth and nose. From a piece of other material, make a small pillow and sew it to the paws of the toy.

Winter cats

Very cute tilda cat soft toy will turn out in the New Year's style.

To do this, cut out two identical parts that consist of the body, head and tail of the cat. Sew them together and push the filler inside. The muzzle of such cats can be made with a needle and thread, beads or a marker and blush. With a felt-tip pen, draw eyes and antennae, highlight with blush or shadowscheeks, and glue the nose from a piece of fabric.

Take an old sock and carefully cut off the elastic. Fix it on the cat's neck with a decorative button. The belly can be decorated with an applique of hearts. To do this, cut out a few shapes. Each subsequent one is false to be slightly smaller than the previous one. Glue with a glue gun or sew the hearts in descending order on top of each other.

Crafts can not only decorate the room, but also be used as a New Year's toy, if you add a ribbon on top.

Cat on the doorknob

Decorate your doorknob with this cute craft.

The instruction will tell you how to sew a tilde:

1. From the pattern, make two fabric parts of the muzzle and body.
2. Sew together the parts of the body and head, leaving a small hole.
3. Turn the pieces inside out and fill them with filler. The toy should be bouncy yet flat.
4. Sew the head onto the body. For convenience, you can use a glue gun.
5. Make a muzzle: eyes, nose, mouth and antennae.
6. Decorate the toy with a bow.

This craft is not only original, but also useful. It will protect the walls from damage in the place where the door handle comes into contact with the coating (for example, wallpaper).

Love Cats

Tilda toys can serve not only as decoration, but also as a symbol of love. An example is these lovebirds.

ActuallyIn fact, there are a large number of ideas for creating such crafts, but their main feature is that they consist of two toys that are connected.

They are easy to make. You just need to choose a pattern of a lonely cat with a minimum of details and draw exactly the same second one, but slightly reduced. Usually, lovebird cats are presented as a hugging couple, so a pattern with a tilted body would be appropriate.

First you need to sew one cat, and then exactly the same second one. Usually two different shades are chosen (for example, gray and pink) to visually distinguish between a boy and a girl. It is also necessary to make two different muzzles - add eyelashes to the toy girl.

The decor of the seals should be slightly different, but be made in the same style. For example, a cat has a pink hairpin, and a boy has a pink tie.

Various decor and execution options

As mentioned at the very beginning, you can make one pattern and at the same time sew different toys. It is very often possible to create a whole family of tilde cats using only fabric of different colors.

Different accessories will help to diversify toys. Various examples of cat toys:

• To create cat girls, use lace, bows, sequins and rhinestones.
• Creating cat-boys, use curly buttons, bow tie and tie applications.
• Engage additional elements. For example, the same toy can hold differentitems: a bouquet of flowers, a decorative watering can, a pillow, a typewriter and so on. This will create different cats.
• Make your craft clothes: shorts, skirts or dresses and so on.

Don't be afraid to experiment and combine different items and materials. Perhaps this is how you get a unique tilde toy.
