Second Tilda Cloth Doll

I made my second Tilda doll (using a pattern from THIS BOOK) over the weekend, it was a present for one of my nieces (she's 9 years old) and thankfully, she loved it, but so did her little sister, so I think I'll be making another one for Christmas LOL...

I forgot to measure her, but she's roughly 55 cms long, I drew in the facial features with my trusty Zig Millenium pen (O.3) drawing her lips and filling them in with MM's Glaze (Ruby).   I painted her slippers with the same colour...and added a RIBBON FLOWER from CRAFT QUEEN to trim her dress (adding a little KG to the center of the flower).    As always, the hardest step with making a cloth doll is the stuffing, but I got my lovely daughter to help me with the legs and the arms, and she did a great job after I explained that we didn't want too much cellulite showing LOL!   : )     Anyways, if you are a cloth-doll maker, I can highly recommend Tilda's books, there's always beautiful photos to inspire you, and although they are a little advanced for beginners, the patterns are fairly easy to follow...the hardest part is choosing the right fabrics from all the beautiful cottons available : )      I hope you've enjoyed the break from paper-related crafts, I know I did : )
