We love the gorgeous sewing and papercraft projects designed by Tilda’s Tone Finnanger. We were delighted when two of her newest titles arrived in our post office box recently.
Tilda’s Seaside Ideas by Tone Finnanger, is a sweet collection of sewing, papercraft, crochet and knitting projects, that are inspired by life by the ocean. Whales, sailboats, jellyfish, Fisher Girl, scarf, and ice lolly’s are just some of the beautiful projects.
Like all of Tilda’s books, everything is beautifully photographed and styled. It is such an inspiring book to look through. Everything is made with Tilda brand fabrics, papers, and materials.
The book includes full sized templates,clear instructions and illustrations to guide you through the process.

Tilda’s Fairy Tale Wonderland by Tone Finnanger is a gorgeous collection of projects that can be used as gifts, decorations, toys, and home accessories. The projects are all inspired by classic fairy tales such as The Princess and The Pea; Swan Lake; The Nutcracker; and Pinocchio.
Like all Tilda books, there are a variety of projects that can inspire all skill levels. There are a number of quick, easy projects suitable for the beginner sewer/crafter, through to more complex projects such as soft toys and dolls.
It is a charming collection of designs and a delight to read. Full sized pattern templates are included at the end of the book. The hard part is deciding on which project to make first!

Awww! I love that polka dot pot! I’ve noticed that Tilda’s fabric line has been a real big hit in Japan nowadays, and I’ve been wanting to put my hands on her lovely fabrics and the book! Thanks so much for sharing!

Thank you for doing these reviews! I love the Tone Finnangar books and hadn’t realized these two had come out. I was quick to place my order. I’m not a very experienced sewer but I find her patterns to be easy to follow and the books are a feast for the eyes. Cheers
