Batty

Cut out all the pieces and attach them in the following order. Ears first. Insert A-B of ear pieces into the ear dart of the body with the ear sticking out of the fur side. Then sew along the dart (A-B) on the other side trapping the ear in place. Then sew from B-C. Body second. Put furry sides together and sew sides together from D through E to F leaving a gap for stuffing. Then sew the top onto the sides (with the furry sides in) from D through G to F on both sides. Eyes can be put in at this point. Use push-through safety ones with washers. Reinforce the eye hole by sewing around it before fixing the eye washer in place. Wings come next. Match two wing pieces and sew around from G to H, leaving the opening open. Turn right-side out and pad each wing with a small amount of stuffing, then sew up the opening. With the body turned right-side out, position a wing matching G to G and H to H then repeat with the other wing and make sure they are symmetrical. Sew wings firmly to the body. Filling takes place now. Push in a lot of stuffing into the head to maintain the shape (especially the nose), and then fill the body sufficiently to stop the wings sagging. Then close any openings.
