This summer, I babysat two little girls who had pet rats… needless to say, rats where a very popular crafting theme. So I figured why not make our won little rats with fabric!? Wanna make one? Just follow the simple pattern I created!
 |
| Materials: thread & needle, crafting cotton (ears & tail), corduroy, 2 buttons, stuffing |
 |
| * Use corduroy for the body and thin crafting cotton for the nose, ears & tail. |
 |
| INSTRUCTIONS With right sides together sew the edge of the tail & ears, leaving a space to insert the stuffing. For the nose, take a little ball of stuffing and place it in the middle of the circle. Gather all the edges together and sew shut (kinda like a candy wrapper!) Sew the ears to the body and attach the button eyes. With right sides together sew the edges of the body & don’t forget to insert the tail and nose! Leave a a opening for the stuffing and sew close when your rat is all nice and fluffy! |
 |
| make sure to add the batting little by little to avoid clumps! |
