How to create Tatiana Konne dolls: pattern and master class

Prepare the fabric. It can be a doll's jersey, cotton, linen. Take the templates, pin them to the fabric with studs, circle them. Do not cut out the details, stitch them on the sewing machine. Do not forget to leave the filler holes.

Below is offered a pattern of Tatyana Konne doll, in which the head is a separate detail.

Now you need to cut out the details, leaving 0.5 cm at the edges. If your zigzag arsenal has zigzag scissors, then treat them with edges. Then the material will not crumble.

Now you need to fill every detail with a holofiber or other filler for your taste.

The soles of shoes need to be strengthened: paste several layers of non-woven fabric on them. Pin this part with the studs to the feet. Stitch the elements, leaving a hole for stuffing.

From any dense fabric (for example, felt) to find shoes. Shoes should be slightly larger than the feet themselves. Details connect and put them on the toy.

The process of collecting dolls looks like this:

1. The first is sewn the head to the body (if the head is cut off separately).
2. Sew the limbs with a button fastener.
3. We fix hair.
4. Draw on the face of the eyes.
5. Tinted cheeks with pastels or cosmetic rouge.
6. We dress up the doll.

Filler for dolls

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

In handmade shops you will find a large number of fillers, but in fact it all boils down to what only one or two fit. In this part of the article we will analyze everything that manufacturers offer, and the choice is yours. So, all the fillers are divided into natural and synthetic.

Natural Fillers

These include:

• Cotton wool,
• wool,
• sawdust,
• Natural herbs,
• Cereals.

Vata. Its only advantage is that it can be bought in any pharmacy. The fact that she is completely made up of cotton will never cause an allergy, and even if a child gutts a toy and eats a piece, nothing terrible will happen.

Minuses of cotton wool as a filler is a huge amount:

• The toy can not be washed.
• In the filler, mold can appear, as it absorbs moisture from the air.
• It is very difficult to evenly fill the product.

Verdict: you can stuff toys with cotton wool only if you are ready to change it often. To fill this filler, you can only work from a very dense fabric, otherwise ugly mounds on the surface are inevitable.

Wool (plum). This is pure combed hair of high-born pedigree sheep. It is not colored, has no extraneous odors, is pleasant to the touch and even has medicinal properties.

A huge minus of this filler is a high price. In addition, it is sold in reels. It is expensive to buy it for filling one item. Basically, this filler is used in the manufacture of Waldorf pupae. Remember that products with wool inside can not be washed. The filler will have to be changed once a year.

Cereals. Completely stuff a lot of rice, for example, definitely not worth it! But to weight the legs of Snowball for resistance to baked buckwheat - you can. You need to pierce the rump so that the parasites do not start up in it.

Sawdust. They fill Teddy bears. Material specific and for filling dolls is not suitable.

Synthetic fillers

So, here we will consider:

• Hollofiber.
• Synthepon.
• Synthepuh.
• Glass granulate.

Hollofiber. The most common type of stuffing. It's not difficult to work with him. Over time, you will have a knack, and the toy bumps, which resemble cellulite, completely disappear. You can buy it in any handmade shop. It is sold in packs of 0.5 kg each. A little trick: look for cheap cushions in stores with such a filler. Sometimes it is more profitable to buy them than to buy a holofiber for weight.

Synthepon. The most common material that we have known since the USSR. It is sold in rolls. Before packing it will have to be torn and rolled into non-useful balls. They can only stuff from thick fabric. In other cases, "cellulite" can not be avoided.

Synthepuh. The filler that behaves best in toys. But it is difficult to work with it, since it breaks up into small details. You need a certain skill, but the result is worth it-the surface will turn out to be perfectly smooth. The filler is not cheap, but if you plan to make elite products, you should learn how to work with sintepuhom.

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