Patchwork Sleeping Bag For PJ Mouse | Kids' Toy Sewing Pattern

PJ the Mouse is ready for bed! Make him a comfy patchwork sleeping bag.

PJ the Mouse is one of Debbie Shore's best-loved toy patterns, and now it's time to make this character some bedding.

PJ's patchwork sleeping bag is both cosy and inviting, and after a long day he loves to snuggle up inside it and have a snooze! Cotton fabric is used throughout this sewing project. If you have lots of little leftover fabric scraps, they'd be ideal for making the sleeping bag's patchwork top.

Finished size: 12 x 17 x 2in (30 x 43 x 5cm)

Note: Use a ¼in (5mm) seam allowance.

PJ the mouse is part of a series by Debbie Shore. Discover more PJ projects below:
