Getting Started - Printing

These patterns are sized for 8.5x11 letter sized paper. When printing this pattern, print actual size. Do not scale to t. If yo

get a notice saying some clipping may occur, simply ignore it.

TIP: For sturdy pattern pieces, print on cardstock. Cover the back of the paper with duct tape and cut the pattern out as

you normally would. Your pattern pieces will be thick enough to trace easily while also being resilient to water damage an

tearing.

Scaling your Pattern

If you would like to scale your pattern, you can do so quick-

ly and easily using Adobe Reader which is a free program.

You will need to increase the size and amount of materials to

compensate.

Click on the “Poster” box. Enter the scale you would like.

100% will print it at the normal size, 200% will double the size.

Overlap will determine how much each tile overlaps the onesnest to it. Enter 0 for no overlap.

Selecting Cut Marks will add guides to each page to help trim

the overlap.

Selecting labels will add a le name and page number to

each page printer to help arrange pages in the correct order.

Before printing, double check to make sure you are only

printing the pattern in this manner and not the entire set of

instructions.

If you are currently viewing the pattern, select “current page”.

Otherwise, you can manually select the page you would like.

Generally, this is page 3.






1. Trace and cut all pieces. Align 2 each pieces (1

patterned and one plain), pin, and sew them together.

Leave the bottom open to turn right side out. After turning

them, you may wish to iron them at.

2. Fold the ears pieces in half. Insert them into the slits

he head piecs. Assure they are facing the right way. Sew

them in place.

3. Sew the dart in the bottom of the head gusset. Align and

pin the gusset along the side of the head. Be sure the ear

isn’t caught in the seam. Sew the gusset to the side of the

head. Repeat for the other side of the head. Sew the bottom

of the two head pieces together, leaving space to turn.

4. Insert the safety eyes. Stuff the head and set it aside.

Fold your front body piece in half and sew the dart. Pin th

patterned wing pieces to the sides of the front piece. Sew

them in place.




5. The back piece has 3 darts. It may be easier to assign

them points and labels. Fold so points B to D meet and

sew from C to B-D. Repeat for point E to D-F. Then fold the

entire back piece in half so points A and G meet. Sew from

the B-D-F point to A-G.

6. Pin the plain wings to the edges of the back and sew

them together, similar to the front piece. Place your feet

along the bottom of this back piece. Pin them in place.

7. Lay the two sides of your bat together, right sides in,

and pin them together. Sew around the edge, leaving the

neck open. Turn your bat right side out when nished.

8. To separate your wings from the body, you will need

to use a technique called “stitching in the ditch.” Line up

the wing seams on the back and front. Then sew along th

seams. Your stitch should be directly in the middle (or dit

of the two seams.




9. To add detail to your wings, top stitch approximately

where the dashed lines are on the pattern. When you are

nished, ll the body cavity of the bat approximately half full

of pellets. Then stuff the rest with stufng.

10. Place the head on top of the body. Using a ladder

stitch, sew around the neck to attach it to the body.

11. You can leave your ears as they are, or perk them

up to point more forward. Pull the inner edge of the ear up

agaist the side/top of the head. Pin in place. Then make a

few stitches to connect the side of the ear to the side of the

head.

12. You’re done! Enjoy your bat :)
