Flying cats. Tilda Kot - instructions for use

The cat brings warmth and comfort to any home. It was not for nothing that at all times in Rus' it was believed that “there is no hut without cats”, and in the 10th-19th centuries they were fined more for stealing a pet than for stealing a cow. And if this valuable, soft, and cozy friend of the family is made with his own hands, and does not scratch at all, then he will certainly become the most beloved.

Master class on making a tilde cat

Let's try together to sew such a wonderful toy for your child or yourself.

We will need:

plain fabric;
colored fabric for the dress and beautiful braid;
thread, needle;
threads for embroidery of the nose and eyes;
black fishing line for antennae;
chlorofiber or other filler;
large buttons - 5 pcs.

Work order

First, a pattern is made on paper, and then transferred with a pencil or chalk to a fabric folded in half. It is necessary to lay out the long sides of the patterns in the direction of the shared thread.

The pattern is sewn on a typewriter along the contour, and the part is cut out with an indent from the seam of 0.5 cm. Shallow corners can be cut around the perimeter of the circles.

Turn all blanks right side out and iron.

Let's start the master class on stuffing cat paws by cutting out small holes in places where buttons will then be sewn on. We push the filler inside with a wooden stick. After stuffing, it is necessary to carefully sew the edges of the slots.

Sew the ears to the head with a hidden seam.

Now you need to sew together the torso and head of the tilde toy with the same hidden seam.

Pierce through the torso with a large needle and sew two limbs at the same time, securing them with buttons. In the same way, we conduct a master class on sewing on the front paws of our cat.

We embroider a nose and eyes (can be painted). Using a needle with a wide eye, we drag the antennae-fishing lines through the muzzle of the tilde toy. We put on a dress and fasten a flirty bow to the ear. The master class on making a charming kitty is over.

Two-legged cat tilde

This cute red cat can not only stand on its two legs, but also hang on its tail. In order to sew it, you will need everything the same as for the cat, only we need not 5 buttons, but 2 for the eyes.

The pattern is very simple. All parts, except for the spout, are cut out in duplicate.

We sew the parts, turn them inside out and stuff them with filler, sewing up the holes through which the holofiber was pushed through.

Our cat has a small nose, which can be sewn together by simply pulling off the edges of a circle of red fabric, putting a piece of filler inside. Immediately sew on the eyes, pull off the ears and the black strip between the cheeks. When sewing the nose to the cat's head, do not forget to put a fluffy mustache under it.

We sew the head to the body of the cat right between the tail and paws.

The master class is over, the two-legged cat is ready.

cat boner

This black and white hard worker cat will faithfully serve, stand to death, preventing the doors from closing or opening, if you put inside not only a light synthetic winterizer or foam rubber, but also a little heavy filler in its lower part (a bag of sand, pebbles, etc. .).

The first pattern is given for the front and back of the cat, the bottom of the column and the tail. The second shows how to cut out the white chest, ears, tail tip and black muzzle.

From fleece or felt, cut out all the details of the toy.
Sew its tip to the tail, and then sew the tail itself to the back.
Sew the chest, muzzle and ears to the front of the cat. Embroider mustache, nose and curls, sew on button eyes.
Fold the two halves of the cat inside out, sew them together, remembering to tuck the ears inside.
Turn out and stuff with filler.
Sew a circle-bottom on which our tilde riser will confidently stand, having previously placed a circle of thick cardboard inside.

cat with fish

If you do not give him a prickly skeleton carved from a plastic bottle in his paws, this fat glutton may well serve as a sofa cushion in the house. In any case, the pattern is given not for a herring, but for a small heart. Which the cat can also hold in its paws.

The entire manufacturing technology of this carrier of happiness and well-being of the family is exactly the same as in all previous versions, with the only difference. At the very end, filling the body of a fat man, resembling a bag with a neck at the bottom, with filler, pull off the edges of the “bag” and sew it up.

If you do not sew, but tuck the edges and thread the tightening cord, the fat man can be a great place for stash and "secrets".

Fat and soft cat Tilda will be a great surprise for a child. For the first time, the masters advise using fleece for work. The material is very soft and the edges do not crumble. In addition, the hairiness allows you to veil the flaws in the seams, which the use of linen or cotton will not allow. If the cotton has to be ironed out after the seams are made, then this will not be necessary when working with fleece.

Flying tilde cat

Here is a step-by-step master class that will tell you how to sew a flying tilde cat:

1. Before you sew a tilde cat, you should prepare all the details from paper or a dense picture. The pattern of the flying cat Tilda is first printed on paper, and then cut out and applied to the fabric.

2. Fold the fabric in half right side inward. The pattern of the flying cat Tilda consists of paws, a head and a tail. We attach paper and circle. An important point: the details of the back and tummy should be directed in different directions.

3. Cut out the details and leave allowances for the seams. Small details are best stitched first, and then cut out. In places where you will turn on the front of the part, it is better to leave a larger allowance.

4. We sew the paws and tail on the typewriter, leaving holes for eversion. On the head of the cat Tilda, we only sew a line from the forehead to the chin.

5. Stitched parts can be cut out. Ideally, you need to use zigzag scissors, but you can use ordinary scissors, in this case the allowances should be at least 0.5 cm. Make small vertical cuts in the rounding places.

6. With the front sides inward, we fold the details of the tummy and head, sweep and sew on a typewriter. We cut off the excess.

7. Now, face inward, fold the back and front. Sew, leaving room for turning.

8. Cut off the excess fabric from the allowances, make cuts in the places of rounding.

9. Notches must be cut at the points of convergence of the legs and at the base of the ears. If this is not done, after turning the fabric in these places will wrinkle.

10. Turn everything inside out and make a notch at the end of the part to insert the stick.

11. With this stick it is convenient to turn out small details and smooth the seams from the inside.

12. This is how our blank looks like:

13. Using a stick, we push the filler into small parts and tamp.

14. After all the details are stuffed, you can collect the Tilda cat.

15. Carefully sew up the places for eversion with a hidden seam.

16. With this seam, sew the tail to the back.

18. Sew the foot to the back.

19. With the help of a pin, we outline the nose and eyes.

20. We embroider the nose with floss using the technique of satin stitch.

21. For the eyes, we take black threads in three layers. We insert the needle through the top of the head and make a small eye, fasten the thread with a small stitch. We make a French knot in 3-5 turns.

22. Embroider the second eye in the same way.

23. Attach a ribbon to the back and give the cat a heart in its paws. All is ready.

A fabulous and unique world called "Tilda" was created by a young craftswoman who was engaged in interior design. She is originally from Norway and her name is Tonne Finanger. For several years, the girl dreamed of inventing some unique and unusual toy for children. And one day Tony was inspired, and she released a whole line of toys in the same style and wonderful works of art appeared - Tilda bugs, snails, dolls, birds, flowers, and many other representatives of flora and fauna. This direction has inimitable features, and they can be easily recognized.

The world invented by Tonne can be called a puppet and animal paradise, in which everything is literally saturated with tenderness, care and comfort. The flying Tilda cat has become very popular among such toys. Such a cat has conquered millions of hearts of both adults and children. A touching, cute, funny and funny flying Tilda cat cannot but bring a smile to everyone who admires him.

The flying Tilda cat will undoubtedly become your kid's favorite toy, or a wonderful decoration for the interior of any home. Well, our master class will definitely help you make this funny Tilda-style cat, and you will see for yourself how easy and simple it is to sew a toy with your own hands.

Flying Tilda cat: making your own. Master class and pattern

Let's start our master class. First of all, I would like to note that it is not difficult to make a Tilda cat. To begin with, you need to prepare everything you need to create a toy, find some free time, stock up on perseverance and patience, and after that you can get to work.

You will need:

piece of cloth
Filler (synthetic winterizer or cotton wool)
Thread, needle, scissors
Black beads or two beads to create an eye
Pattern.

As always, the first thing we will start with is such an element as a pattern. We draw on paper on our own, or you can redraw all the details of the cat from the screen: the body, muzzle, four paws and tail.

After the pattern is transferred to the paper version, we cut it out, put it on the fabric, which we fold in half in advance, fasten it with pins and cut out the details, not forgetting to add allowances for the seams.

We sew the paws and tail of the cat, leaving a small hole for eversion. We sew the head as follows: from the forehead to the chin. In places where the toy has rounded shapes, you need to make vertical cuts. Then we fold the elements of the abdomen and head with the front side inward and sew them. We take the details of the back and front in the same way, and sweep them away, leaving room for eversion.

Now we turn all the resulting parts on the front side. To make this task easier for yourself, you can take a wooden stick, with which it is also convenient to level the seams inside. Here are the blanks we got:

The master class proceeds to the process of stuffing parts. Again, a wooden stick will help us, which is very good to fill the small parts of the details with synthetic winterizer.

After all the blanks are stuffed with filler, we proceed to stitching. With the help of a hidden seam, we sew up all the holes left earlier and sew the tail to the back and paws to the body.

Tilda cat ideal as a gift and a souvenir for friends and relatives, in whose house it will definitely become the real keepers of the hearth. It is impossible to forget the characteristic features of the Tilda cat - the touching beady eyes truly give joy with their charm and simplicity, which are carefully put into each toy by the hands of an inspired master. Just look at these smooth lines of figures, giving a carefree look to the Tilda cat, which, as if exhausted by the sun, received a soft tan and glowing cheeks.

Tilda flying cat now he has come to give love and happiness to every home; the only thing you need is to create your own toy by following the step by step instructions. So, a wonderful flying Tilda cat will be happy to be born in your capable hands.

The pattern consists of:

2 tail pieces
4 leg parts
1 back piece with head
2 parts of the front part of the head
1 tummy part.

To create a cute, homemade Tilda cat, we recommend using the following materials at hand:

a handkerchief or a piece of natural fabric measuring 39*18 cm
down or synthetic winterizer serves as a filler for a miracle toy
ribbon for a bow (braid is ideal for this purpose)
3 identical bright buttons
threads for embroidery (mulina) black

When all the details are ready to sew, they must be sewn with the front parts inward. Do not forget to leave small holes for filling the toy - it is up to you to decide how fluffy it will be. We carefully embroider the muzzle with threads and decorate the neck with a bright bow. The tail and paws are fixed to the body with buttons. An unusual soft flying Tilda cat with a good-natured disposition is ready! Did you fly?

We told you about the simplest method of making a Tilda cat. However, there are many ways to decorate a ready-made toy, giving it a perky character. You can make a fish or a mouse out of fabric, which will look great in the inserted paw of a cat! It is important to remember that the fish and mouse must be of a contrasting color so that they do not merge with the body of the Tilda cat.

For the best result, it is better to make a cat Tilda from natural fabrics (coarse calico, linen, cotton, flannel) of pastel shades with a rustic simple pattern, moreover, it is harmless for the baby who will play with the Tilda animal. Often, the fabric is tinted with natural dyes - coffee, tea, cherry juice - to create special effects. Buckwheat is even used as a filler - such an unusual Tilda cat cannot leave you indifferent.

It takes a little patience and perseverance to get the job done. Before we start sewing a toy, we will prepare everything you need:

Before taking a Tilda Cat pattern, cutting fabric and sitting down at a sewing machine, you should read the recommendations of people who have experience in sewing Tilda, perhaps many tips will help you avoid problems when creating a toy, while others will encourage you to create, for example, clothes for cats, interesting design.

All seams are made only from the wrong side, otherwise the toy will look sloppy.
It is necessary to leave allowances for all seams, if the thing is sewn for the first time, it is recommended to leave from 0.5 cm, for more experienced - 0.3 cm. If the allowance is large, at the end of the work, the excess fabric is cut off, leaving 0.3 cm to the seam.
From the whole variety of types and forms of Tilda, they choose the one that they like best, they have almost the same complexity. The Tilda pattern can be downloaded from the Internet, which opens up the possibility of adjusting the size of the future toy. With the help of graphic editors on a computer, you can enlarge, compress, stretch the pattern to the required size.
Material for Seals, their clothes are washed and ironed before cutting.
All recommendations for the pattern should be strictly followed, tucks, tucks, must be laid as indicated, otherwise, when assembling the toy, the joints may not match.
When sewing a toy with your own hands in places of parts with a fold, in rounded places, notches should be made on the allowance, this eliminates the formation of wrinkles and irregularities.
The finished part is turned out with a long object with a blunt rounded end (pencil, pen), if you take a pointed long object, you can tear the fabric.
For the filler, one material is chosen for all details, for these purposes it has proven itself well - synthetic winterizer, synthetic winterizer, alpolux, holofiber.
When making a muzzle, black small beads are chosen for the eyes, and dark threads for embroidery are selected for the nose and mouth. In principle, the face can be drawn with a thin black marker or fabric paint.

For sewing toys you will need:

basic plain fabric,
colored fabric for clothes,
lace, ribbons,
black beads for eyes
black mustache line, dark threads,
4 buttons to match the main material,
filler.

First, a little about the materials for sewing Tilda the Cat. Cotton fabric must first be dyed to give it a characteristic color. This is done with coffee or tea. The wire must be copper and insulated. Its length is about 20 cm, in cross section 1.5 mm. We take threads of several shades: to match the main fabric, to match the color of the clothes, pink for the nose, and black for the eye. Pick up small buttons for clothes. If you are going to sew New Year's Tilda the Cat, then the rabbit fleece will be an excellent material for sewing a warm sweater or a New Year's cap.

Cut out a paper pattern from thick paper or cardboard. The pattern of the cat is transferred to a fabric folded in half, fixed with needles and outlined with chalk. Given the allowances for the seams, cut out. They begin work on collecting the toy from the head, sew it together, leaving a small hole for eversion not sewn up and fill it with filler, after which the hole is manually sewn up. The same operation is carried out with the ears.

A distinctive feature of this tilde cat doll toy is that all its paws move as if on hinges. This effect is achieved in this way, with the help of buttons, the paws are sewn to the body by poking it through, and the upper or lower paws are sewn at the same time.

The tail is made similarly to other parts, sewn from behind to the body.

The eyes are decorated with beads or simply painted, the nose is embroidered with threads, the cheeks are painted with special paints on the fabric, the antennae are a fishing line, they are pulled through the muzzle, their length is limited only by fantasy.

A dress pattern for a cat is done like this - they measure the required length and width of the dress on the doll. On paper, according to the data obtained, draw a rectangle. At this stage, the upper part of the dress should be reduced - a trapezoid is obtained. They transfer the pattern to colored fabric, cut out two parts and fold them face to face, sew them with their own hands or on a typewriter, leaving holes for the arms and head. Make a hole for the tail with scissors. Decorate the dress with lace, ribbons, bows. Tilda is ready.

Angel cat

flying cat

This cat has already become legendary. With it, the path to the magical world of Tilda begins for many craftswomen. The toy itself is not difficult to perform, but it causes a lot of pleasant emotions.

Such a dreamy romantic comrade, sometimes with a flower, sometimes with a bird, and sometimes with a heart in his paws! You can make a tabby cat, coffee, cotton or fleece - decorate the muzzle or put two traditional dots instead of eyes - all this is up to you when sewing this tilde creature!

Of course, we are posting a pattern of a flying cat from the book by Tony Finnanger (Tildas Tradgard - in translation it looks like “Tilda on the Farm”). In addition to the cat in the book, you can find a snail, a frog, bees, a scarecrow, rabbits and other paraphernalia of a farm environment.

So, the tilde cat pattern:

The stitching pattern looks like this:

First we sew 2 parts of the head as shown in the picture (to create a bulge)

Then we sew this sewn head with the lower part (this is all the front of the cat)

Then we connect and stitch the two parts of the body

We sew paws and a tail in the traditional form, or at your discretion

In more detail, the process of sewing a tilde cat is discussed in our:

For work you will need:

1) Fabric for the cat's body - cotton white or flesh (tan) color, you can linen - natural or flesh. For the bird - fabric of your choice (small polka dots look great on a bright background)

2) Filler - holofiber

3) Stick for eversion and stuffing

4) Regular and zigzag scissors

5) Sewing machine or needle and thread and hands

6) Regular pencil or fabric marker

We print or redraw the pattern on paper, cut it out. We try carefully, then the appearance of the cat depends on it.

The head (you can take one half of the head), paws and tail are applied to the fabric, folded in half face inward and outlined with a fabric marker or pencil (or a bar of soap)

We also circle the half of the body (the front, which is without a head)

Let's start sewing. We simply sew the paws and tail on a typewriter and cut it out with zigzag scissors with seam allowances (0.5 - 0.8 cm)

You need to stitch it completely, then make a small hole in the place where this part will be sewn to the body (indicated by a dotted line on the pattern) and turn it out.

We sew the head in this way. First, we sew only one side - the “face” where the spout will be. It should turn out like this:

Now you need to sew this detail to the front of the cat's body (which we have already drawn and cut out with allowances of 1-1.5 cm). In order for everything to work out, we advise you to first sweep the parts manually at the place of stitching.

It will look like this:

Now we have 2 parts of the cat's body: the back and this one in front.

We sew everything together. The main thing is to carefully and correctly sweep or chop with pins for convenience.

They chipped it with pins - you can stitch it, leave a place below for eversion.

Here is the back view.

And this is the front view. Cut out:

We make small cuts in the fabric in the area of \u200b\u200bthe legs, neck and ears - so that the fabric does not stretch.

Turn inside out, gently straighten the seams inside with a stick. Can be ironed (although it will still wrinkle during stuffing).

We begin to fill the cat with holofiber. We stuff the head well first.

Then legs:

The cat is tightly stuffed - there are no wrinkles on the fabric:

Sew the hole at the bottom with a hidden seam.

We stuff the paws and tail too.

To do this, you will need: coffee (custard can be instant - the easiest), black tea - 1 bag and a little PVA glue (to make the fabric more dense).

Pour hot water over tea and coffee, cook for 5-10 minutes, strain, wait until it cools down and when the mixture is no longer hot, but still warm, add a little glue.

We paint the cat quickly with this solution - we start from the head, you can use a brush with dense bristles or a sponge.

We send it to dry in the oven (we hang it by a rope to the grate) degrees 100 minutes 15.

While the cat is drying, you can sew a bird. There is one point here - the beak. For the beak, you will need a small rectangular piece of fabric.

We fold it in half and in half again and insert one of the corners into the bird's head, while 2 parts of the bird should lie face to face with each other. Only then we sew everything together.

Here is the diagram from the book:

As a result, it should turn out like this:

I have a longitudinal seam due to the fact that there were 2 small pieces of fabric left, which I first sewed together, and then cut the bird, you should not have it.

Now we sew all the details in place. We try to be stronger and so that the threads are not visible - they can be hidden in the body itself or in the side seams.
