Story Mouse is the mouse that could be the main character in a million storybooks or maybe the mouse who has a million stories to tell. Story Mouse is a real charmer with enough personality to fill any imagination. Story Mouse is worked almost completely seamlessly with lots of guidance provided in the pattern through photo tutorials and exclusive video tutorials to help along the way.
The clothes are all custom designed to fit Story Mouse but if you’ve made my Sleepy Kittens pattern, the clothes will fit those dolls as well, and vice versa. And the fabric sleeping bag from the Sleepy Kittens pattern will fit, too.
