For this project I made 8 bats out of ultra suede fabric I hand embroidered and hand sewed each bat. I added a jump ring to the top of each bat to hang them. I then made a bigger bat with its wings folded in hanging upside down from the cross bars, this bat was also hand sewn and hand embroidered. I used a heavy upholstery thread for hanging it from the top to the 4 cross bars and for hanging the 8 little bats. To add a bit of sparkle I used swarovski crystal beads and some nice vintage beads. I had so much fun making this mobile, maybe I should make a couple of these mobiles to sell in my shop kathisewnsew's handmade & vintage boutique.
This project started because I had to make a trip to San Francisco and I just have to have a project to work on while we drive. So I started sewing bats from my newest batch of fabric I had just received while we drove. Those bats became bat hair clips from my artfire shop. From that I had the idea for the birthday gift I was making. Here are the bat hair clips.
Enjoy your day.
