Tilda Studio Angel

Tilda Studio Angel

This Tilda Studio Angel is one of the biggest Tilda Doll patterns in the Tilda books (although of course you can photocopy and enlarge it for your own personal use). I ended up making two so far - one for the corridor where it "watches" over us, and greets all the visitors, and one for my daughter's bedroom - she likes green. All made with Tilda fabric, because it's a perfect fit.

Enjoying Tilda Fabric Stash

I love this Tilda Studio Angel design because by simply changing the hair and the dress colour, you can adjust it to the recipient's personal preferences or the room colour scheme (my corridor decorations are mainly red). Also, because the dress is actually part of the body, this Tilda Angel doll does not require much skin fabric.

And I love the fact that even though Tilda Angels have no faces (which by the way is perfect for beginners as you only have to mark some eyes with a fabric permanent marker and use some lipstick for cheeks), they do seem to be happy and cheerful.

I'm definitively going to do more Tilda Studio Angels, but next time maybe different hair as I seem to be going for blond all the time. And I do try to put different wings on them every time I do them to see which ones I like best.

* Tilda Studio Angels patterns can be found in Tone Finnanger's Tilda's Studio book, highly recommended!
