Newborn Snail Costume

Mums of newborns don't have much time to spend on sewing but this really simple costume means you can complete it between feeds. I managed to finish mine in an afternoon!

Step 1: The Hat

I used a hat that I knew fitted my child to help measure the size that I needed for the snail hat

Step 2: The Body

Remember to make the snail body longer than your child as it tapers in at the end

Step 3: The Shell

Sew the bottom of the shell to the top of the snail body piece. It doesn't need to be neat as no one sees this bit
