Meet Maurice. He's a simple little fellow, very easy to make.

It's a small felt mouse pattern - designed for fun and portable hand sewing. If you attach a hanging loop to his head, he'd make a great Christmas tree ornament. Or you could fill him with catnip and give him to a special cat. :-)

Difficulty

Easy! If you've never handsewn felt before, this is a great project to start.  Maurice uses just a few super simple stitches to make –  stitches that are so easy I teach them to kids as young as six. You can do it!

You Need. . .

• scraps of wool felt (I used love bug blue, blushing bride and blue snow)
• matching embroidery thread (I used DMC #807, 775, 152 and 3371)
• small amount of stuffing (a few cotton balls will work in a pinch)
