Tickles Felt Christmas Mouse
Tickles is a 16cm (6 inches) felt mouse. He sits on a felt block, also included in the pattern. This is the ideal project for a quick and easy Christmas gift, or change the colour scheme to make a toy for a baby shower etc. The mouse is fully jointed and poseable and small details such as his whiskers, bead nose, and little collar make him cute enough to steal anyone’s heart.
Printed Pattern
This is the printed version of the pattern. It consists of full-size pattern sheets, instructions, and a pattern cover with a colour photo. A printed soft toy pattern is a great choice because you will receive the pattern templates ready to cut out and instructions that you can lay out on our work table to refer to as you sew. Once you have paid for your order, we will ship the pattern to your delivery address.

Hand Sewing or Sewing Machine?
We prefer to sew our bears entirely by hand. You can save time by sewing the seams using a sewing machine. However, you will still need to do some hand-finishing.
