Patterns & Files

Here’s what’s needed most. Always read instructions carefully. Incorrectly made items take a lot of time and effort to fix, and the requirements are quite specific. Please, please, please, read and follow the instructions!

Important Reminders

✅ All pouch outers need to be accompanied by 2-3 liners made out of 100% cotton flannelette (especially important in winter). Liners MUST MUST MUST have French (enclosed) seams and a U shaped bottom.

✅ No hand sewn items, no items that are not high quality. Crafted items go to tiny babies with big claws and need to be VERY safe and very washable.

✅ Get kids involved by making cards, drawings, or decorating with permanent marker. Please remember sewn/crocheted/knitted items need to be of very high quality.

✅ Large drawstring bags means roughly pillowcase sized. Use pretty material for these!

✅ Microbat hanging pouches should be made to the ratio of 1 rescue pouch to 2 hanging pouches. Only use dark or muted colours as mumma bats need a relaxing environment.
