Have a mice day!

This felt mouse stuffie was inspired by some of Krista’s favorite childhood books about Poppy the deer mouse. And we think it’s pretty neat that the author got the idea for these books while living in Corvallis, OR, which is just an hour and a half from us in Portland! Since the project was inspired by the Poppy books, Krista also created a mini version of our felt California poppy for the mouse to hold.

When you are ready to make your felt mouse stuffie, gather the tools and materials listed here. Then follow the instructions on the right hand side at the top of this post. One tip we have for mastering more complicated felt animals like this one is to work in small, even stitches. If you have any questions while crafting, just ask!
