 I'm finally creating a downloadable sewing pattern for my snail soft sculpture! There are snail prototypes all over the place here, and not just on my desk (pictured below). I have made so many snails, after first creating my design back in 2013, but offering it as a sewing pattern means I now have to make a proper template! So I'm tweaking and perfecting the shape, size and design.  Snail prototypes - perfecting, tweaking, changing... I'm at the last stage of sewing pattern production, which is photographing the steps, so my snail sewing pattern will be available via my online store by early March. I'll notify via my email newsletter and social media as soon as it's ready to download. *EDIT - my snail sewing pattern is now available to download via my online store *  I took the photo above, years ago, upon discovering this little drawing on my work table. My family and I are fascinated by snails and have a very large (and growing) collection of huge snail shells. We live in a sub-tropical region of Australia, with rainforests nearby - where we regularly find the giant panda snail.

Hi Margeaux—I am obsessed also with snails, mostly seashells, but also land snails when they are available! I work in wool fiber, wet felting and needle felting and have made several snails using a tutorial from Sarafina Fiber Art. I would love to get your pattern when available as I also sew and quilt. Would love to trade snail shells with you if interested. Thanks, Debbie 16/3/2021 10:27:12 am
Thank you very much Debbie. Snails are wonderful, aren't they? So interested to hear that you make felted snails. Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
