The Tilda Characters Collection: Birds, Bunnies, Angels and Dolls

This set of books is absolutely adorable andI am in love!!! Great pictures, clear instructions, and although the patterns have to be copied to use them, it will be easy enough to do!!! Will be buying more from this designer.

Great Product

Small books but cute ideas. I collect Tulsa’s books and had to have this collection

This is really, really a wonderful set. I love this book, the pictures, step by step directions, and even recommend items to use really help. I started with the angel book first. LOVE BIG TIME!!!

Tilda has written another set of little books with her usual cute characters and dolls. I knew the books were small, but it did not occur to me that the patterns would then be small too. You have to enlarge all of them to use them, which makes this a little unhandy, unless you have a copier at home that will enlarge things. But I love her creativity. But that is the reason for the 4 stars instead of 5, small patterns.

Some of the animals in this collection can be found in some of the other Tilda books so if you own all of Tone's books and buy this set there will be some duplicates but I love her work so much I really wanted to get this set in case there were some animals that I didn't have patterns for from the other books I have from her. As usual, once you learn the basic method for making her "softies" its easy to follow the directions, but if you have never made one before it can seem confusing. I think the original is written in Norwegian and the English translation isn't super easy to follow but I do know from learning how to do Norwegian knitting that kids grow up there learning how to knit from their relatives or at school so Norwegian knitting patterns are notorious for being really brief, just the bare bones, not a lot of details, so maybe this is the case with sewing books as well? Tone's work is so popular in Russia, I have found the best You Tube tutorials online from Russia that have taught me the most. You can also buy a tutorial for about US$15.00 from "Stitch Craft Create" (UK) that was just released. Once you purchase it, its an instant download. The tutorial only covers directions for sewing one of Tone's dolls, but the same basic method is used for her animal patterns as well. I hope this helps!

Cute patterns, but they all need to be enlarged 400%.

Can’t wait to make some of these toys
