Finally, some real sewing

I cannot tell you how glad I am that I finally started sewing. You know, real stuff. No, not the Hello Kitty blue lego bag :)).

I did it. I cut, I sewn, I ironed. I, however, did not use a walking foot. And I regreted a lot.

Huge mistake. I have no ideea how I could possibly think that the silence of a regular foot could do more good than the noisy and annoying walking foot.

I will come back with more details, 'cause this quilt has such a long story, but tommorow we're leaving town and I really wanna quilt this tonight. Gotta go :)

Later edit: Do not, I repeat, do not attemp to fix your walking foot by yourself. Do not unscrew your walking foot. If you do, please let me know where the smallest L part belongs.

Kind of... sort of.. not really

I miss sewing. Very very much. A lot of things happened here lately and the only time I had left was after 1 a.m. Usually this is not a problem, but when it comes to thinking about something... whell... it's really not the best moment.

But I missed it too much and decided to do something. Something small... a lot of improvisional piecing... scraps only (so I don't kill my self if something very ugly happens). Camera bag! This sounded so easy, considering that I made about 3 dozens bags until now.

Well..one thing let to another... and that's pretty much it. It was not ok. That's the most flattering picture and, belive me, it is flattering.

But no, I couldn't stop... I saw these gorgeous kimono shoes at IThinkSew and for the first time I bought an online pattern. Not that good either.

I missed my size (as in two europeean numbers).

The good part is I only made one shoe and I also made quite a few adjustments and already cut shoe no.2 and 3 (the first one was test only) and now I'm ready to make my self something nice. Something that I was actually going to do this morning but somehow ended up writing a pattern. Don't ask how I got there, way too long story.

Ok, so the real reason for this post:

would any of you, ladies, would like to take a look and tell me if you can understand something from my pattern? :D Pretty please? [eyelash batting here]

And the quilt is this one:
