Mouse pattern
To sew a toy animal, you need to draw just a few details. Two of them are the same - for the sides. They look like a semicircle with a decrease in the size of the arc towards the rodent's muzzle. The shape of the bottom resembles a drop.

As you can see, the mouse pattern is slightly different from the previous version. The bottom is pointed on both sides, and the bottom line of the sides is not even, but smoother. The ears are oval, with a cut bottom edge.
Sewing begins with the upper seam, connecting the sidewalls on the back of the mouse. Then the bottom is sewn. Be sure to leave a hole for the insertion of the filler. When the synthetic winterizer is inserted, all parts are stitched to the end.
Small parts
The tail when sewing a mouse on a pattern with their own hands is done either from a braided thread or use a piece of rope. So that it does not fall out through the seam threads, a knot is tied at its end, which is hidden inside the body of the rodent. Nose is done with stitches. They make a small fold on the ears, and then glue them with a glue gun. To form the eyes, you can use half beads or round buttons of black color.
