Tummy Pocket
Fold the seam allowance inwards and topstitch. Position the pocket on the stomach and sew on close to the edge.
Pin the ears and the wings to the front part and sew on tightly.
Back part
The back section consists of two parts. Place both parts right sides together and sew together except for a small opening.
Iron the seam allowances apart.
Place the back on the front, right sides together. So that the large wings don’t bother you while sewing, you can fold them and fix them with a few pins. Sew together all around and turn right side out.
Fill the bat with cotton wool and close the opening.
You can fill the little pocket with sweets and sour candy and give it to your child as a little surprise for Halloween. We hope you enjoy sewing!
