Next came Mr. Ropuha and Manny Mouse. I tackled the 'easy' part first, and made them some pants. Although the pants I sewed for Manny proved too stiff, so I made a new pair out of an even thinner cotton. Happy to have pants al last, the two of them proceeded to practice their karate moves....
I can't think of anything harder than trying to inset a tiny one inch sleeve into a tiny armhole. I always baste the sleeves in first by hand, before sewing them on the machine. But after having to redo each sleeve several times, I finally gave up trying to sew them on the machine, and just did them by hand.
Mr. Ropuha's shirt/vest combo has stretch tricot sleeves so they can fit snug under his coat sleeves. The mouse's top is too small to have an actual collar, so I'll need to sew some tiny strips of thin ribbon around the neckline by hand....
