About this pattern

A gray mouse with big round ears, pink inside, looks over the top of a green sewing machine with both pink paws on its edge. The mouse has dark eyes with a white glint and a pink nose; only its head and paws show. The machine is seen from the side: a rounded arm, the needle coming down on the left, a round gray hand wheel with a green center on the right and a long flat bed, with darker green shade under the arm and along the bed. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 39 by 36 stitches and uses seven thread colors.

39 stitches wide by 36 high: 874 full cross stitches in 7 DMC colors (Forest Green 989, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Light Steel Gray 318 and 4 more).
