Original designs for intermediate- to advanced-level crafters
This is a beautiful craft book with beautiful photography and projects. But, this is not for beginning sewers or crafters because there is a complete lack of proper instructional content for people who are new to doll making, in particular. There are several mislabeled patterns and unless you are at least at intermediate level, you could make a lot of mistakes.That said, for me, I love it. I will go as far as to say that this is even soothing as a book just to page through to simply admire the photos and originality of the projects.Because her materials are only sold in the U.K., you will have to be more creative in sourcing project materials. I happen to like changing the designs and using my own materials so that my pieces are unique so I wouldn’t purchase her materials even if they were available here, but I know some people only want to use the exact items. Just be aware before you buy the book that you won’t have access.Recommend for the intermediate to advanced crafter/sewer.

it's the book I wanted BUT...
The book came in a timely manner, but I was disappointed to feel it's got blue stickysubstance smeared on the cover and bottom of binding. I have had to scrape it off and wipe it off.Oily marks and feeling simply dirt, make me reluctant to open and explore the book. It should havebeen cleaned better before shipping. ( And no, I did npo take before photos, as I simply wanted to clean it offbefore it got on my clothes and so I could actually open the book pages. Any photo now would show shadows of where oily substance use to be. )

Great addition to your crafts library!
Delightful book. Fun to read, as well as useful for a doll maker. I would say previous experience with sewing is a help because some of the directions are vague or generalized, but the dolls are relatively easy. The patterns are classic and well designed so you can personalize them using more or less decoration, all sorts of fabrics and materials. One thing I could not figure out is the chicken's "thigh." We decided the author has never seen a real chicken and was using a sketch or cartoon to design the bird. I am very happy to have this book, and will probably purchase more by this author.

Enchanting Tilda and friends
There are some really sweet patterns for Tilda and friends in this book. Finnager's book are eye candy for those who love making dolls and stuff characters. I think her directions are easy to follow and I like the fact that patterns are to size and I don't have to enlarge them myself. I do not live in an area where I can go to a copy/printing place and have it done so I don't purchase books where all you get is a teeny pattern to enlarge. I particularly love the Pinocchio doll in this book and I would love to make him up for Christmas this year.

... of the TIlda books in the past and absolutely love her style and designs
I have purchased several of the TIlda books in the past and absolutely love her style and designs. I made five of her Scandinavian Santa's (from Tilda's Christmas Ideas) one year as Christmas gifts for my adult family members and they loved them. Can't wait to make some of the Fairy Tale Wonderland figures, especially "Bambi"! And the soldiers, nutcrackers, and ballerinas are one of a kind designs! If you like to sew and make stuffed dolls, animals, and decorations, you will not be disappointed with Tilda's books. There is something to enjoy in every book!

Hermoso libro, pésima entrega, lo lastimaron al entregar
El libro es muy bello, pero la entrega fue pésima, lastimaron el libro y hasta rompieron la parte inferior del lomo. Jamás me había pasado esto en Amazon. No lo quiero regresar pues era un libro que quería mucho. Pero sería bueno que tomaran en cuenta esto para proteger los lomos de este tipo de libros.
