How to make a sketch "follow" a curved face or how to make a face follow a curve?

Apologize as I'm not even sure how to ask what I'm looking for

I'm trying to make a sponge holder that snaps on to my faucet, the snap part is all good, but I'm having a hard time creating a holder with a more organic and curvy shape

I've started out choosing the curve I want the holder to be at and extruded that, resulting in a pretty flat shape. My idea was to use the "Cutout attempt" sketch to shape the holder looking from the "Left" plane if that makes sense but I have no idea how to

Hi @gabriel_canto333,

There are a few different ways to get organic shapes. If it is extruded along a curve, use the Sweep feature. If you need a more organic shape, you will need to use Loft, Fill, or Boundary surface.

Does this resemble what you are trying to achieve:? If not, please provide a napkin sketch or reference pic and we can get you pointed in the right direction.
