Supplies:

• A gray sweat suit with hood (no zippers)
• Needle and gray thread
• Swatch of white material
• 2 squares of gray felt
• Fabric glue
• Paper and pencil and scissors
• Small amount of stuffing

Instructions:

Ears:
Draw two large mouse ears onto the paper. Trace the pattern onto the felt and then cut the ears out. Cut out small centers for the ears out of the white material and glue it to the felt ears. Put aside. Next, cut a long cone shape about 6 inches by 12 inches out of the remaining felt. Put aside.

Attaching the Ears:
Sew the ears into place by folding the bottom of the ear down onto the hood and sewing it so it stands upright. The head is finished!

Belly:
Cut a large oval out of the white material. This will be the mouse tummy. Either stitch it on, or use the fabric glue (be sure to let it dry thoroughly).

Tail:
The last step is to create and attach the tail. Fold the cone piece of fabric in half lengthwise. Using thread, sew a seam leaving only the flat end open. Be sure to make the seam at least an inch into the fabric so that it doesn’t come apart. Then, turn the fabric inside-out. Stuff the tail before proceeding with attachment.

Close the open end of the tail by folding it over, then attach it by stitching it onto the rear of the sweat suit. Be sure your stitch is strong (consider reinforcing it) so the tail doesn’t come off.
