These garden critters by Louise Nichols are the perfect project to stitch in a day. Make for your little one or even as a fun décor piece for your home while developing your toy making skills. We used coordinating prints from the Tapestry collection for Art Gallery Fabrics, but you could mix your pair up with bolder designs.

1 Download and print the templates.Cut out five 9cm x 16cm fabric rectangles. Arrange them as desired and machine stitch together along the long edges. Press the seams open.
2 Fold this strip in half lengthways, pin and machine along the long edge, leaving both short ends open so you have a tube. Turn through to the right side and press so the seam sits down the centre. Oversew one end using coordinating thread, then stuff the tube with toy filling. Don’t overfill, as you need to be able to roll it to form the snail’s shell. Once you’re happy, oversew the open end.
