Meet Bernice the Bat, a charming embroidered felt ornament that’s perfect for adding a handmade touch to your Halloween or autumn decorations. Bernice loves nothing more than a good cuddle — she can perch on your pen pots, hang from your houseplants, or swoop gracefully from an autumn garland or Halloween display.
 
This DIY felt bat sewing pattern includes detailed step-by-step written and photographic instructions and full-size templates so you can create your own adorable bat decoration at home. There are also a set of .SGV files for Cricut and similar cutting machines.
 
Bernice’s wired wings and feet mean she can hang upside down and wrap herself around your fingers,  just like a real bat! Once made, your finished bat ornament will have a wingspan of around 20 cm and stand about 7 cm tall.
 
Whether you’re a seasoned stitcher or a beginner crafter, this Halloween embroidery project is a relaxing and creative make that adds a little autumnal magic to your home.
