Cowgirl Tilda

 I thought I'd take a break from the Hittys and the Tang disappearance and focus on another Tilda doll I made. I was asked by a friend to make a Tilda doll for an auction. A Texas style auction. So what kind Tilda could I make? A Cowgirl Tilda!

Here is my Cowgirl Tilda all dressed in denim and checks. I added a pretty trim to go on her skirt to help her look a little more fancy.

Well, actually I made two Cowgirl Tildas. I was so pleased with the auction Tilda that I thought I needed a Cowgirl Tilda for myself too! So the above Tilda and the below Tilda.

 

I kept this Cowgirl Tilda in the red bandana. Both Cowgirl Tildas have long braided pigtails and a little straw hat.

This was a first since I had never made boots before and didn't have a pattern for any. So...what did I do? I just winged it. I used some brown felt and sewed little lines on the tops on my sewing machine. They aren't perfect but they'll do.

Now if you are a Cowgirl Tilda living in Texas you have to have a firearm! So I found these cute little guns at Hobby Lobby in the jewelry making section and thought they would do just fine. These little handguns even have a special stone hanging down from the barrel. The little gun is sewn to her belt.

Well YEHAW, y'all!
