It's a back-pack that look like a bat! (assuming the bat is rectangular, has red floppy wings, and no eyes).

I made it as a gift for my sister for her birthday. The fabric came from Wal-mart and is black fuzzy polyester (outside) and dark grey flannel lining. I think the wings are a poly blend of some kind as well. To make it I pretty much sewed the right sides of the fabric together on 3 sides into a giant rectangle, turned it inside out, attached the straps and wings, folded down the front part, sewed it closed and attached the teeth. It closes with white velcro, which I also cut out to look like fangs.

It made me really happy, because I think it turned out well (given my limited skills) and my sister liked it too. I may need to make another one to keep.
