TURTLE Hexagon Pin Loom: Cat Gnome and Mice



Use WoolAddicts AIR in gray and weave on the original TURTLE Loom to achieve a very authentic looking and feeling mouse!



Supplies.

The pieces you'll make.

First, attach the head to the body.

Attach the feet to the body.

For the tail, sew two 2" hexagons together as shown, then start at one end to sew the sides together.

When you get to the seam between the two hexagons, bend them a little and continue sewing. This will also help the tail to keep an even width.

Attach the tail sideways to the body.


Embroider the face before you put on the hat. Remember to slightly stuff the hat.

Embroider some "claws", too.

For the ears, fold a hexagon in half as shown and sew along the edges.

Pull a thread through the bottom and pull in slightly to form the ear.

"Securing" a thread means you sew through the weaving and the middle of the thread itself. This will keep the thread in place.

It doesn't matter at which end you start, just make sure that you "secure" A and B and pull it in a little bit to shape the ears. Remember to stuff slightly before closing completely. The start tail (on the right) is secured and serves as the tail.

Remember to stuff slightly before closing completely.

Embroider two French Knots as eyes.

Meet Mouse!

Mouse makes great pet toys if worked from larger hexagons and stuffed with cat nip. The gray mouse is made on the 4" original TURTLE Loom.

Happy Halloween!
