wee handsewn (and knitted) stuffed mouse #1

25+ years ago my gran knitted this stripy jumper and the green trousers for my dolls. Those, and many others like it has survived all those years (including 1 break in & two basement floods) I was delighted to find it again and decided to make this mouse doll and give it back to my gran who's now very old.
