Stitch Craft Create continues their Tilda summer week with enthusiasm, and this version of the Tilda summer bag.
It is gorgeous in Spring Lake Fabrics. We love it!
You will find the pattern for the bag here, and Stitch Craft Create have taken the time to make a kit with the necessary fabrics.
Just imagine a fluttering white dress, a flower in your hair and this summer bag, perfect…
Summer is here and we are going on holiday. We will leave you with a picture from the upcoming book “Sy til barn”/ “Tildas Toy Box”.
Have a great summer everyone!
We hope you’re having a superb summer with lots of lazy days and exiting new experiences.
We are back at the studio working on the Autumn news witch will be presented very soon.
Our new favorite friend this Autumn is this floral monkey from the upcoming book Tildas toy box/Tilda sy til barn.
He is going on tour, and it´s a bit hard to part with him. Silly but true. He will be looking cute in exhibitions around the world before he makes he’s way back to the studio.
Have a great week!
This autumn there are two new Tilda fabric collections “Autumn Tree” and “Sweetheart”. Sweetheart has a sweet classic pallet of reds and blues, and Autumn Tree has a blue green and lilac colour scheme. As usual you can buy pre-cut bundles and charm packs with the new fabrics. We hope you enjoy it!
If you just love blue like we do, try using blue fabrics from both collections to make a fresh blue winter quilt.
You will also find a Blue Fat Eight Bundle among the news this season.
Here is a closer look at the Autumn Tree collection, we hope you enjoy it!
Shades of green and purple lend an autumnal feel, but combined with dark blue, you have a gorgeous palette that is fresh and appealing all year long. The Tilda Autumn Tree collection has 12 fabrics, papers, ribbons and more.
Here is a look at the new Sweetheart collection.
Sweet, traditional colour combinations and a blend of patterns and mini blossoms give the Tilda Sweetheart collection a delightful charisma. The Sweetheart collection includes papers, ribbons, and buttons in addition to 12 fabrics and a charming house sewing kit and doll kit.
Check out the new autumn catalogue here!
You might have spotted this little doll already, The Sweetheart Doll is proving to be very popular. She appears on the cover of the upcoming book and is already available as a kit.
We say “she” but this could just as well be a boy doll. The little hair buns are of course optional.
A large head on a smaller body with tiny arms and legs, who can resist that…
The doll kits are flying off the shelves and we are delighted that she is so well liked. The kit contains everything you need to make a doll except filling and rouge for rosy cheeks.
Some of our Nordic costumes have asked why the Tilda range is no longer available in the Panduro Catalogue.
Well, Tilda has for a few years had a catalogue of her own and the Tilda catalogue is now presented alongside the Panduro catalogue on Panduro’s web site.
Here you will find the news and all available Tilda products.
To get information and prices in your language and currency go to Panduro.com and choose your country. In most countries you will find the Tilda catalogue under “Browse catalogue”.
Klick on the product numbers to get more information about each product.
Have a great week!
If you like to sketch and draw, or write down your thoughts and dreams you can do it in the sweet new notebooks that are available in the Tilda range this autumn.
They come in packs of three in two different sizes.
You can decorate your notebooks with matching paper decor, Adhesive Fabric Paper or Fabric Tape to make wonderful useful gifts.
In the Autumn Tree series you will also find matching pencils with flowers and spots.
Have a great weekend!

The English version will be out soon. Make sure you get one from the first edition and pre-order here.
This autumn we have more sweet cotton ribbon with, spots, flowers, and our favorite the forrest design with rabbits, ducks and deer.
Forrest motives are always cozy when it comes to wrapping Christmas gifts, and the same motive is available as gift wrap.
This season is full of ideas for children but as many of you know there are a lot of Christmas ideas in Tilda’s world.
The lovely Stitch Craft Create are doing a Tilda christmas theme this week.
The new Sweetheart collection is perfect for a country Christmas look with red spots, forest motives and folklore flowers. Here combined with pictures of Tilda Christmas ideas from different books.
If you need ideas for Christmas check out all the Tilda books with a Christmas theme.
When we counted – eight of the twenty Tilda books has a Christmas and winter theme!
The pictures below shows the Norwegian covers and the year they where published for the first time.
Most of the books are still available and translated into many languages, so lots and lots of ideas to choose from for your christmas projects.
Have a great day!
Add a personal touch to your Christmas decor with large cosy and comforting Christmas stockings.
Full of candy and gifts they will also make a sweet and unique gift for family and friends.
When the stockings are finished with folded edges they measure 55 cm (22in)
We used the “Sweetheart” fabric collection, quilt wadding, off-white quilt fabric for the lining, and “Sweetheart” buttons with spots for decoration”.
Print the two parts for the pattern:
Christmas Stocking Pattern 1 and Christmas Stocking Pattern 2.
Add 15 cm (6in) to the length of the stocking between the pattern pieces, see figure A.
Make a paper template by gluing the pieces together, and cut out the full stocking shape.
Cut two opposite/reversed stocking pieces in the stocking fabric, lining fabric and wadding.
If you want to quilt the stockings as we have done here you will also need two pieces in backing fabric. Add a large seem allowance to all the pieces.
The backing will not be visible in the end, so you can use any old fabric.
Patchwork stocking
The patchwork stocking is made out of 3in (7,5 cm) squares. Seem allowance is included so when sewn into the patchwork the squares are 2,5in (6,25 cm).
Sew together enough squares to cover the pattern and seem allowance for each of the stocking pieces, and continue as you would with a simple stocking piece.
Attach the wadding to the back of the stocking pieces, and the backing fabric on the other side of the wadding. You can use a basting spray or stitch a large seem along the edge.
Quilt the stocking pieces by hand or sewing machine, see figure B.
Place the lining and stocking pieces right side together.
Trace or refresh the pattern onto the lining piece and sew along the scalloped edge. See figure C.
Cut any extra seem allowance only along the scalloped edge, and make small notches between the bows. Be sure not to cut into the seem. See figure D.
Place the two sewn-together parts right sides together. Trace or refresh the pattern drawing on the stocking part, and sew around. Leave a reverse opening in the lining part, see figure E.
Cut any extra seem allowance and make notches in the seem allowance where the seem curves inwards.
Turn the stocking inside out. Use a flower stick or similar to turn the scalloped edge.
Push the lining into the stocking part. (If you need to iron turn the stocking and iron from the lining side to avoid damaging the quilt effect.)
Fold down the edge, see picture of stockings.
Loop
Cut a 3.5 x 20 cm (1,3/8 x 8in) strip for the loop.
Fold and iron each short end approximately 1 cm (3/8in) inwards.
Fold and iron approximately 7 mm (1/4in) inwards along each long side, then fold and iron the strip in half so that it will become approximately 1 cm (3/8in) wide.
Stitch up the open side by hand or machine.
Fold the loop and tack the ends to the inside of the stocking.
Buttons are sweet decor along the scalloped edge.
Have a great weekend!
