Tilda Friends...clothing patterns
Tilda offers a series of patterns to make "Tilda Friends", cloth dolls based on animals. But I am having a terrible time tracking down the patterns for the Friends!
Has anyone out there made these dolls and have clothing patterns to share? I want to make a simple wardrobe that is easy for little fingers to put on the dolls, and as a quilter have limited garment sewing skills!
Here is the link to the Friends:

I haven’t made any of her patterns but I think they are very cute!

If you look through the other free patterns, some of her friends (animals and dolls) have clothing in the pattern. The cow I linked above has the overalls, the cat has a dress, the bear has some shorts. All of the clothing, however, are intended as permanent, with it sewn closed on the friend or doll. You might be able to modify those patterns to so that the clothing is removable.

Tilda is a Norwegian fabric wholesaler. Maybe their US rep can provide more info.

They're fairly new to the US. Might take a little time for them to gain a foothold. Here's their US website: https://www.tildafabricusa.com/

I have sent enquiries about where to find the clothing patterns. Will post if I get any replies!
It would be nice if the Tilda Friends page included links to clothing patterns. It seems that was once their intention, but perhaps this is another casualty of the pandemic!

This is a result of a search for Tilda doll clothes patterns. Most are just photos on Pinterest, which you may or may not be able to follow far enough to find the actual location of the pattern. However, sometimes, you can. . I found a couple on etsy. I bet there are some tutorials on youtube.com.
