Hart if you win the lottery will you share with me so iu can give up my job too

Georgia love the mouse do you have any instructions?

i have had no time for sewing recently as it was my brothers wedding on saturday so i have spent weeks making place cards, favour boxes, ribbon decor for the church ribbon rose hair slides for the flower girls etc etc . I have made this doorstop though using some fabric i received from Danables when we did the fabric swap.



I can't remember who posted the link to the tutorial recently but thanks:D

Here is my second attempt at a doorstop.

Firstly in situ - note door being held open!





and a close up




I've used fabrics to coordinate with the decor.

Oh, and my daughter's claimed the owl.

Dizzytina, I have got instructions for the mice. I'll see if I can find out how to put a link.
Love your doorstop btw.

They are BRILLIANT, love them. I like the bit of cheese you added just right for some hungry mice! I like the way you have incorporated them into the door stop.
I don't blame your daughter for wanting the owl....he had a cheeky look about him :0)

pennib

dizzytina; sorry forgot to say your door stop is nice, love the fabric. It looks so neat and professional.

awwwww that's sooooo cute = what have you got inside it a brick - looks the right size and shape - lol!! Its fantastic!

Georgiabay

Yeah, it has got a brick in it. We've got thousands of them outside so I might as well put one to good use

Georgiabay

This is the pattern I used. The ears are made from felt but I wanted to do mine with contrasting insides so I cut them a bit bigger to allow for turning.
