Hey everyone! I’ve got a new free pattern that’s joining the collection! For the fans of the previous sea bunny, there’s another sea slug. This time it’s the adorable leaf sheep, technically called costasiella kuroshimae. This unique little guy has a distinctive face that looks very sheep-like. Meanwhile its body is covered in green cerata that store the chloroplasts from the algae it eats. This enables it to photosynthesize just like a plant!
This version has a round little slug body with rows of accent tipped leaves going all the way down. Then it has a tiny cute head on the front to finish the look. The accent tips take a while, but I tested several ways doing them that are hopefully less tedious! However you can also skip the accent tips if you want.
As always, the pattern comes with applique templates to make the face details. These will work if you’re sewing the details by regular machine or by hand. If you have an embroidery machine, you’ll find the embroidery files available for download with the buttons below. I hope you all like it!
