Sew a cute little bat that can hang upside-down from a mantel, wreath, shelf, or tree! “Batty” is a soft, fabric decoration designed by Ruth at Thimble Art. The pattern uses simple shapes, fusible interfacing, and a small ribbon hanger—perfect for confident beginners and fast gift-making.
Make one as a focal point or stitch a whole colony for a garland. Change up the accent colors on the collar/ears to match your spooky style, harvest décor, or classroom theme. Templates print on standard letter paper.
