Use pins to position each piece correctly before sewing them together.

Mr Snail can be made as a miniature stuffy, a pin cushion, a needle minder or even an ornament. If being used as an ornament, be sure to use something to weight his shell down with small stones/rice in a small bag for him the be able to “sit” in a certain position.
