HI all. I  am wanting to make a mouse, but I 've been trying to find information on how to make those tiny little feet/toes .  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you

I haven't done this, but I'm looking at Jenifer Laing's book Constructing Teddy and His Friends. She shows both arm and leg as being drawn in profile, so you'd be sewing along the top and bottom of each limb (instead of on each side). Each limb is "split" into two so that it's furry on top and ultrasuede below. She then uses stitches to define toes and "fingers."

I hope this helps... (I have no idea how one would turn such a tiny limb... :wacko:)
