Bramble the Bat 🦇
Beginner-Friendly Soft Toy & Comforter Sewing Pattern
Meet Bramble the Bat — a wonderfully soft and snuggly little bat that you can make yourself, even if you’re fairly new to sewing.
Designed with beginners in mind, Bramble has a lightly stuffed body and beautifully floppy comforter-style wings. There are no buttons, plastic eyes or other small features to attach.
Best of all, Bramble is quick and simple to sew, making him the perfect little project when you want to create something special without spending days at your sewing machine.
🦇 Bramble is perfect for...
A thoughtful handmade baby shower or new baby gift, a very cute Baby’s First Halloween present, a soft little comforter, or simply a gorgeous handmade decoration for a nursery.
He’s also a lovely way to use a favourite piece of fabric or some of those beautiful remnants you’ve been saving for just the right project.
✂️ Beginner friendly
You don’t need to be an experienced sewist to make Bramble. The pattern has been designed to be straightforward, achievable and relatively quick to sew.
If you can use a sewing machine and sew a straight stitch, you can make Bramble!
🧵 What fabric should I use?
For the softest, snuggliest Bramble, I recommend cotton muslin or double gauze. These give his wings that lovely soft and floppy comforter feel.
Non-stretch woven fabrics work best, particularly for beginners. You could also use lightweight cotton, cotton lawn, cotton poplin or a soft woven fabric you already have.

🤎 Make Bramble your own
One of my favourite things about Bramble is how different he can look depending on the fabric you choose. Keep him beautifully simple in a neutral double gauze, choose a sweet print for a new baby, or use fabric that already means something to you.
However you make him, I hope Bramble becomes one of those little handmade pieces that is loved for years to come.
