These naively lovely, simple, domestic and, you can even say, natural toys have long conquered Europe and are now gaining popularity in Russia. Handmade dolls are sold at fairs, but they are not cheap.

Such a doll is an original gift, which will please both the adult and the child. Learn how to sew a tilde-toy is easy, especially this activity will appeal to children.

For those who are just learning the basics of sewing toys, it's best to start with simple ones. The best option is a snail-tilde. In this example, you make sure that the lesson is very simple, interesting and non-expensive, which is very encouraging.

What do we need for a snail?

• Scraps of cloth;
• Thread;
• Needles;
• scissors;
• Stuffing material (sintepon, cotton wool, etc.);
• A pair of sheets of paper;
• pencil.

Where to begin?

In order for the snail-tilde to be beautiful, we will need a pattern-scheme. You can find it below and copy it, or you can draw it yourself. It is simple, you can handle it without much effort. In carrying the pattern there is a small trick: increase the circuit on the monitor, attach a white sheet of paper to the screen and circle the contour with something soft, like a felt-tip pen, so as not to damage the technique.

So, the scheme is ready, it needs to be cut. You will have two details: the body of a snail and a shell-house.

Now go to the fabric. At once it is necessary to make a reservation that in tildes the body of toys is always made of light materials: white, beige, pink, gray fabrics. Very often sew from pure white, and then paint with colors or tea, it is already at will. In our case, it is not important - we sew for ourselves and in pleasure.

Fold the fabric in half, face to the middle, and transfer the pattern. Matter is best cobbled together for convenience. Do not forget about the allowances for seams, let it be 5-7 mm. Two details of the torso of the cochlea and its house should come out.

We pass to sewing. To sew details it is possible on the typewriter, and if that is not present, then hands. The children are very fond of sewing it manually, this process enthralls them. For a long time, however, they are not enough, but for this there are adults who always come to the rescue.

It is important not to get carried away by sewing and do not forget to leave a place for stuffing. At the trunk of the cochlea, one should leave a place on the back where the house will be sewn, and near the house - at the bottom. Sewed parts must be carefully removed. To do this, use improvised tools: knitting needles, chopsticks for Chinese food, a rod from a handle, etc.

When you twist the details, they need to be ironed. If the fabric is elastic, it is possible that an iron is not needed. Now boldly stuff the details of the toy.

Another important point with the detail of the snail's house: to make the product neat, the edge needs to be turned into the middle by 5 mm and ironed or swept.

At this stage you can already see what the snail-tilde looks like in an exploded view. Attach the house to the back and see where it will look better, then fix it with pins. This will help you balance the house and sew it gently.

After connecting the parts, the seam can be masked with a tape.

The snail-tilde is ready! Draw eye sights and blush. All other accessories are to your taste.

Your product is already worthy of such an event, as the fair of masters. Tilda always comes out charming and sweet. It will be a wonderful decoration of the interior, and just a favorite toy for children.
