A co-worker saw the picture of my Minnie Mouse. She requested a doll of Mickey Mouse. This is the pattern that I designed for Mickey Mouse. Most of the pattern was a simple adaptation of the Minnie Mouse pattern. This just expands my pattern collection of Disney characters. I am sure that there will be more to come in the future.

DECORATIVE BIRDCAGE
A co-worker of mine found a beautiful birdcage ornament that looked like one that her former sister-in-law made her at one time but lost. She asked me if I could make one similar but larger. Here is the pattern for the one that I made her. I used lavender color for the desired color in ribbon because that was my co-worker’s favorite color.

Finish off leaving a long tail. Lay BOTTOM on flat piece of plastic wrap. Without getting any stiffener on long tail, strap BOTTOM. Set aside to allow to dry for 24 hours.
ASSEMBLY:
Once pieces have completely dried and are at desired stiffness, this may take more than one coats of stray stiffener, slowly remove from plaster wrapped support items.
Using white 1/8” ribbon and tapestry needle, feed ribbon through Rd 1 of DOME TOP. Tie both ends together first at dome and then again about 3 inches above first knot.
Using an equal piece of white and desired color ribbon, tie bow just below first of knot of hanger. Use a little glue to secure center knot.6
Glue 5/8” desired color ribbon over Rd 8 of CAGE.
Sew BOTTOM to bottom of CAGE. Using sc, evenly sc Rd 6 of DOME TOP and Rd 11 of CAGE together. Finish off and weave in ends.
Once Decorative Birdcage is fully assembled, but before gluing birds, leaves, and flowers on, I suggest hanging Birdcage from something and stray with stiffener again and allow to let completely dry.
Glue birds, leaves, and flowers at various places on DECORATIVE BIRDCAGE.

FOOT SHAPING:
To shape toes, thread yarn needle with cut ends of a doubled strand of BODY color yarn. Using photo as a guide for stitch placement, insert needle through sole at first toe position and go straight through foot and out instep, pulling yarn through until loop protrudes from foot. Bring yarn over top of foot to form toes and insert needle through loop; pull tightly. Insert needle back through foot on outside of loop to secure and bring needle out at second toe on sole. Bring thread over foot and insert needle through instep and go straight through foot and out sole at same point; pull tightly. Take a couple of very small stitches to secure; insert needle inside the foot and push it out the bottom so the yarn does not show; cut the end close to the foot. Use top of needle to pull stuffing into toe areas and shape foot.
Embroider TOENAILS on each toe of feet.
