How Tatyana Konne's dolls are made: pattern and master class

Prepare the fabric. It can be doll knitwear, cotton, linen. Take the patterns, pin them to the fabric with hairpins, circle them. Without cutting out the details, stitch them on a sewing machine. Don't forget to leave holes for the stuffing.

Below is a pattern of Tatyana Konne's doll, in which the head is a separate piece.

Now you should cut out the details, leaving 0.5 cm around the edges. If your needlework arsenal has zigzag scissors, then process the edges with them. Then the material will not crumble.

Now every detail needs to be filled with holofiber or other filler to your taste.

The soles of the shoes need to be strengthened: stick several layers of interlining on them. Pin this piece with studs to the legs. Sew the elements, leaving a hole for stuffing.

Cut out shoes from any dense fabric (for example, felt). Shoes should be slightly larger than the legs themselves. Connect the parts and put them on the toy.

The process of collecting a doll looks like this:

1. First sew the head tobody (if the head is cut separately).
2. Sew on the limbs with a button mount.
3. Fixing hair.
4. Draw eyes on the face.
5. Tint cheeks with pastels or cosmetic blush.
6. Dress up the doll.

Now you know the stages of assembling a doll based on Tatyana Konne. Additional patterns can be seen below. There are several options for patterns: one-piece head and body, as well as when it is sewn separately.

Shoe patterns for Tatyana Konne dolls

Tatyana Konne has one trick: she often buys ready-made shoes for newborns for her toy babies. But most often boots or shoes have to be sewn. Below you will see a pattern of shoes for a big-footed doll.

Doll filler

The filler plays a huge role in the creation of textile toys. It depends on him how long the doll will serve its owners. The filler is also responsible for the smoothness of the "skin" of a textile person or animal.

You'll find a lot of fillers in craft stores, but it really comes down to just one or two. In this part of the article, we will analyze everything that manufacturers offer, and the choice is yours. So, all fillers are divided into natural and synthetic.

Natural fillers

These include:

• cotton wool,
• wool,
• sawdust,
• natural herbs,
• cereals.

Wadding. Its only advantage is that it can be bought at any pharmacy. Also, the fact that it consists entirely of cotton will never cause allergies, and even if the child guts the toy and eats a piece, nothing bad will happen.

Cotton wool as a filler has a huge amount of disadvantages:

• Toy cannot be washed.
• Mold can grow in the filler as it absorbs moisture from the air.
• It is very difficult to fill the product evenly.

Verdict: You can only stuff toys with cotton if you are ready to change it often. Only a product made of very dense fabric can be stuffed with this filler, otherwise ugly bumps on the surface are inevitable.

Wool (sliver). This is pure combed wool of high-mountain thoroughbred sheep. It is not colored, has no foreign odors, is pleasant to the touch and even has healing properties.

The huge disadvantage of this filler is the high price. In addition, it is sold in reels. It is expensive to purchase it to fill one product. Basically, this filler is used in the manufacture of Waldorf dolls. Remember that products with wool inside cannot be washed. The filler will have to be changed once a year.

Grains. Fully stuffing a bigfoot with rice, for example, is definitely not worth it! But to weight the legs of Snezhka for stability with calcined buckwheat - you can. It is necessary to ignite the cereal so that parasites do not start in it.

Sawdust. They are filled with Teddy bears. Materialspecific and not suitable for stuffing dolls.

Synthetic fillers

So here we go:

• Hollofiber.
• Sintepon.
• Syntepuh.
• Glass granulate.

Hollofiber. The most common type of padding. It is easy to work with him. Over time, you will have a knack, and the tubercles on the toy, which resemble cellulite, will completely disappear. You can buy it at any handicraft shop. It is sold packaged in 0.5 kg bags. A little trick: look in stores for cheap pillows with this filler. Sometimes it is more profitable to buy them than to buy holofiber by weight.

Sintepon. The most common material that is well known to us since the days of the USSR. It is sold in rolls. Before stuffing, it will have to be torn and rolled into soft balls. They can only be stuffed with thick fabrics. In other cases, "cellulite" cannot be avoided.

Sintepukh. A filler that behaves best in toys. But it is difficult to work with him, as he crumbles into small parts. Some skill is needed, but the result is worth it - the surface will be perfectly smooth. The filler is not cheap, but if you plan to make elite products, then you should learn how to work with syntepuh.

Glass granulate. They stuff the limbs of Teddy bears. Granulate is perfect for weighting the legs of Snowball dolls.

After reading this article, you should have an excellent Snowball doll by Tatiana Konne. Pattern products based onthe works of the famous master will become the basis for the patterns that you will create over time on your own. After all, each needlewoman should have her own handwriting.
