Tilda bathing lady


In the last 3 days I made this beautiful doll, from the tilda book "Sew Sunny Homestyle". There are a few other projects that tempt me for later.
I bought a fat quarter of the black with white spots fabric, from the Tilda collection, and a metre of white croquet ribbon. I already had the fabric for the skin, plain calico.
I had fun and am pleased
with the result.
Now it's your turn to try.









Here is a photo of the book, it has recently been translated in english, and I bought it straight away as I already love Tone Finnanger's other books. Here is a link to the product on Amazon uk no affiliation.




















I was wondering how to do the hair but followed the explanation and it worked. I put some pins around her head and weaved the knitting thread around the pins. Then I sewed everything in place, and took the pins out.

















I just need to put some colour on her cheeks.

I hope you had a lovely restful time in France. Great job on the Tilda doll - I love how you have done her hair too - it looks perfect.
