Nutmeg, A Gentleman Squirrel

 

This is little Nutkin, he and two sisters are now on the shop. He is a tiny dapper chap in smart plus fours with a Liberty print waistcoat and silk scarf. His shirt is white linen and his foraging bag is rich dark brown leather for all his finds.
He has a rich dark orange body made from Moda Grunge fabric so there is a subtle pattern and is huge tail is made from wool felt, the colour is Ember which I think is lovely. He has carnelian to his heart with chamomile in his stuffing.
I have thoroughly tested the pattern now and I am happy that it works. They are around seven inches and are slightly larger than the mice. I love their tufty ears.
