The Snail of Happiness

Are you enjoying the Sewing Bee? Here we are having a natter about it, plus an update on Mr Snail's bingo (still waiting for a hungry bum!)

From knickers to bags, via Yorkshire buttons, we've had some great classes recently.
We're just finalising the list of classes for the autumn and winter, so keep a look out and let us know if there is something you'd really like to learn and we'll see what we can do.

Mr Snail's trip to Downing Street earlier in the year - you never know where running a craft shop will take you!

Did you see it? We shared our viewing glasses with our neighbours so several of us could enjoy the event. We also reminisced about where we all were for the 1999 one.
Happy eclipse!

The Snail is open but staying cool with sun blinds, a saree and a tile floor. And lots of fluid!

I always prep for classes, but our next one has taken more time than usual.
On Sunday (16 August) we're making bags with a frame. So, I spent all of yesterday making bags to different stages to show my learners.
Trouble is I really like them and would love to finish them all so I could use them!
There's one place left if you want to come and learn... hop over to our web site to book or call in to the shop.

Mr Snail is walking the Magna Longa in homemade trousers and 25 degrees. What are you doing this Sunday?

A variety of Sophie scarves and an obsessed squid. Just another Friday at The Snail...

Come and get your yarn for your Sophie scarf from us today!
