Tilda Dolls

10/28/2015

Making a Tilda doll is not as simple as it looks. While the clothes are straightforward, working with the construction of the body is quite difficult. Getting the right shape, and making the face look interesting in spite of the fact that there are only two pin points for the eyes, were very time consuming. I had seen many marvelous Tilda dolls on Pinterest, and now I admire the makers more than ever.

Check out some of the Tilda details on the Toy page on this site.

Just completed this tote. The design was from a Craftsy course on 3 purses, and I loved the way we were taught to insert the zipper. I have tried many ways to put in zippers, but this one was really interesting. I placed a pocket with a different fabric on the other side of the zip placement and really like the final product. I usually make my projects for others, but this one is finally for me.

I completed 4 delightful bags for my grand-daughter. These were such fun to make - buying the wonderful fabrics, practicing using sturdy fusible interfacing to give the bag shape, using a fun fabric for lining - all these helped to create these bags. I got so much pleasure from making them, and from the result.

Sewing, paper-craft, stamping, and scrapbooking are my hobbies. At the moment sewing is first preference and I am sharing my projects with you on this website.

If you're not giving every project away, sharing is the second best thing to enjoy; I hope you will enjoy the ideas and be inspired to do your own thing.

Crafting gives me a sense of calm and accomplishment, and for me it's like the apple a day that keeps the doctor away.
