Toy Mouse
This mouse was kind of a throw-together piece. Made from leftover fabric.
I didn't take any progress photos so treat this as a little add-on tutorial to the Hooded Blanket.
I do have patterns, though! Which is the main point of this post.
You Will Need:
- Fabric - something like fleece
- Contrasting fabric for bow and ears
- Stuffing
- Thick thread or embroidering eyes and tail.
Pattern
Sewing
3) Cut a slit for the ears and sew ears into place.
4) Embroider the eyes onto the body pieces.
5) Place body pieces good sides together and sew, leave a small opening at the bottom.
6) Turn body right side out. Thread three thick embroidery threads through the seem at the back of the body. Knot threads on inside of body. Plait threads to make tail.
7) Stuff body and sew up the opening.
8) Using a few hand stitches tack the ears into a pleasing position.
Bow
1) Cut out bow on doubled fabric (good sides together) leaving a small opening at the bottom. Turn through.
2) Using hand stitches gather the center of the bow.
3) Wrap fabric around the middle of the bow to cover the gathering stitches.
4) On doubled fabric trace and sew two bow tails. Cut out and turn through.
5) Sew or glue the two tails to the mouse. Add the bow on top.
