Description:

I just made up some mice for a tag (I hope she doesn't read this until after she gets them!) and thought what a fun idea for a swap!

The picture I have posted I found when I typed "catnip mice pattern" in to Google. They look just like the ones I made and I found images of the pattern pieces there,too! You can use whatever pattern you like,though. If you already have one that works for you that is fine! You can also use whatever materials you wish that will hold up (like felt,wool,sweater scraps..)

These mice are somewhere in the dotee size range of 3"-6".They are just a body,a bottom,a tail,eyes and ears.The eyes can be either tiny felt circles or embroidered on-whatever you like to do. I used pieces of suede cord for my tails,but there are plenty of options that way-I just had leftover pieces to hand.

They do not have to have catnip in them.My cats play with them without any catnip and I have made up some for one of my mother's cats who has asthma and is allergic to catnip!

A good use for felt scraps! Nothing fancy or too difficult to make up,I promise! I want my swaps to be fun-not feel like "work" :D

How many mice? I am going to edit this swap to 2 mice per partner. I realised it would not be fair for one person to only have to make 1 mouse and another to have to make as many as 4!

If anyone has a link to an easy pattern,please feel free to share it!

Can we use any toy mouse pattern? I have a handy pattern I'm doing up in another group swap that I would be interested in using here too. :)

Oh,yes @ cengland ! The pattern I am using is very simple,really. Any pattern you already have and like will do! I will edit the swap to say that,actually!
