Intro
Make a sweet Farmer’s Market Mouse set in soft pastels: gray mouse with blush cheeks, butter–yellow Peter Pan–collar blouse with puff sleeves, olive–green pinafore dress, brown Mary Jane shoes, beige sun hat, plus a cream mesh tote filled with carrots and herbs, a tiny rustic scale in slate blue, and a “LOCAL PRODUCE” tag.

Please note: I strive for accuracy in every pattern, but occasional errors can happen. Thank you for understanding and for enjoying my designs.

• Dress mouse with the blouse first, then the pinafore.
• Place the sun hat slightly tilted forward and tack at two points so it keeps its angle.

Finishing & Styling

• Steam-block the pinafore hem and hat brim for soft curves.
• Add a tiny hint of pastel blush to the cheeks for the photographed look.
• Arrange the mesh tote so the carrots peek through—this is the key “aww” moment.
• Set the scale and tag near the mouse’s right foot for the full farmer’s market vignette.

Care

Spot clean only. If you used cardboard soles or a magnet, avoid soaking. Reshape the hat while damp and lay flat to dry.
