Tutorial: the Snail Bag series

August 5, 2008 by Denise Felton 2 Comments

Small Snail Bag by Alicia in HawaiiIf you’ve been watching the Curiosities 808 blog, you’ve gotten to see the evolution of a fascinating project from inception to completion. Blogger Alicia in Hawaii is known for her clear, charming tutorials, and she’s outdone herself with the Small Snail Bag series. When you see the final post, which shows the completed bag, you’re going to want to backtrack through the entire series to see the development from crayon-tinting through embroidery through applique through construction. Fantastic job, Alicia!
