Miss Mouse

 

A mousie for a mousie <3

I was asked to make a mouse for my friends granddaughter, she was preemie and so tiny, nicknamed Mousie of course. I didn't think of using socks at first but after seeing these http://www.flickr.com/photos/treachercreatures/  I knew a sock would do.

 I cut the sock into the shape I wanted, then hand sewed it and stuffed it.I tried on her sock 'dress' pinned arms where I thought they should be,tacked facial features and pinned paper ears to see if it looked like I hoped it would. It did! So I sewed and sewed and sewed and tweaked and tweaked....and Miss Mousie was born :). Oh yeah I also added bells inside her so she rattled.
