Tilde dolls have gained popularity with many needlewomen around the world, so the variety of sewing options and images for these toys is simply huge. Next, recommendations will be given on sewing a tilde monkey, a pattern, a master class, and the necessary materials will be listed. Using these recommendations, it will be very easy to sew a tilde, and the toy itself will turn out to be very cute.

Materials for tailoring

Tilda-style monkey (pattern will be given below) requires the usual materials for such dolls. These toys are sewn from natural fabrics. Be sure to need brown knitwear or cotton for the body and beige for the muzzle. To make clothes for the tilde monkey (the pattern for both the toy itself and the dress is located below), you will need any fabric you like, for example, in a flower or with a geometric pattern. You also need thread, pins and a marking pencil, stuffing material. ATas the latter, for example, synthetic fluff or cotton wool.

Pattern and cutting

Tilda-style monkey patterns are not found in the original sources - English-language books by Toni Finnanger, a designer and artist from Norway, who came up with such dolls. Therefore, an ordinary monkey doll, stylized in tilde traditions, was taken as the basis for the toy. If desired, the proposed pattern of the tilde monkey can be supplemented with any details or modified.

If you print the pattern on an A4 sheet, the doll will be approximately 34 cm in height.

All details of the tilde monkey pattern need to be cut out. After you can start cutting. Here you need to decide whether the toy will be solid or you will use two shades of brown fabric: light and dark.

The brown fabric that will be used for the body of the toy should be folded in half (all parts are paired, so it will be convenient to cut). Next, lay out the paper parts on the fabric, circle, pin with pins. Now you can cut it out, but do not forget to make allowances for the seams (at least 0.5 cm on each side, and preferably 1-1.5 cm).

Sewing progress

When all the details are cut, you can start sewing. The most difficult thing in this process is the muzzle of the toy. Take its upper part (this is a piece with a tuck), fold it in half evenly and stitch the tuck. Next, you need to connect the lower and upper parts exactly in the center (it is better to chop with pins), sew on a typewriter or with a “needle back” seam along the rounded edge. To make everything smooth, it's better firstbaste everything by hand, and only then flash it on a typewriter. The result is a three-dimensional detail.

Next, you can sew together two parts of the monkey's face. Place them face to face and stitch. Then you need to sew the ears. Be sure to iron all these small details well with an iron to even out all the seams. After all, this is the muzzle of a toy, so all the details must be done carefully. Only the arms and legs remain, as well as the torso.

One of the crucial stages is sewing the muzzle to the monkey's body. You need to sew with a hidden seam, if necessary, you can slightly pick up the muzzle. Leave a small hole open. After stuffing the part through it, sew up the hole. When everything is ready, you need to make eyes. Traditionally, tildams are made with small eyes - it is enough to outline the pupil with a black floss thread. Now it remains only to sew the face of the monkey to the head, attach the arms and legs.

Tilde clothes

Tilde monkey toy patterns are not enough to make a cute doll. When she is ready, you need to dress her to your taste. Below is a pattern for a tilde monkey - a dress and an apron. There is also an outfit for a monkey-boy. The easiest way is to make a beautiful dress for a toy. Sewing it is very easy and fast.

It will take a piece of bright matter. Transfer the pattern to the fabric, cut out the details. Next, stitch the side seams and sleeves (shoulder seams do not need to be touched yet). The bottom of the dress can be decorated with lace. Tryput the dress on the toy (through the legs). At the same time, the monkey can be squeezed a little. The neck may be too narrow, so adjust it already on the toy. Also stitch the shoulder seams, sheathe the neck. A beautiful scarf, belt or collar can be sewn to the dress.

If you wish, you can diversify outfits. Sew, for example, an apron to a dress or a T-shirt and shorts. The face of the toy can be made brighter with the help of blush, acrylic paints or pastel crayons.
