dodgy walking foot and a sun hat

Well this is my morning…..drop Keira at daycare, go to SL to see sewing teacher and get some hints on my dolls quilt, walk to sewing store and buy walking foot that was according to the sales person suitable for my machine, go home, make a mess of dolls quilt as fabric won’t feed, get in the car and see sewing teacher, walk to sewing store and be told no refunds, show quilt and demand refund, get refund, walk back to see sewing teacher, lose interest in walking foot and promise to buy one friday…….I’m still unpicking 4 rows of extremely tight stitches….


I did manage to make this gorgeous Amy Butler sunhat for myself and will be restocking the pattern (gosh I love having a shop in my craftroom) shortly…

and here’s my model who also loves it

  1. Good for you sticking to your guns to get that refund! That is so cute (along with your little girl modeling it!)

  2. The sunhat is gorgeous and so is your little model :O)
    Bring on summer!

  3. What a lovely happy sunny sun hat – and a lovely happy sunny model too! Great job on the hat Corrie – it looks gorgeous. Kiera also looks gorgeous and so like you in these pics I think.

  4. Lovely sun hat! Looks like Keira is ready for summer :)

  5. Oh no !!!! Don’t envy you having to unpick all that little stitching but the hat looks gorgeous and of course the model is so elegant.

  6. The sunhat is fab and of course Keira is the cutest! Great photos.

  7. Oh Corrie, sorry to hear you had a dodgy walking foot! That hat is fantastic! Lovely job!

  8. That pretty sunhat puts my boring childcare one to shame! Beautiful fabric – I love what I can see in your doll quilt too.

  9. Very cute sunhat! And you gotta go to a shop that sells the exact same brand as your sewing machine (Janome?) for walking feet. Those no-name feet only work for the newer models and even then, still dodgy.

  10. Cute sunhat. Great that you got your money back too, especially after they told you it was the right one for your machine.

  11. Sorry to hear your problems with the walking foot but glad to hear you got the refund! I LOVE your sun hat too, it is gorgeous 😀

  12. Gorgeous, gorgeous girl! Love the hat too!

  13. That sunhat is gorgeous. I love the bright print.

  14. I found your blog from Dianna’s Journal (on how to make a cloth diaper) first of all I wanted to say I love your sight. I especially love this hat (the adorable model makes the hat look cuter)! I am a huge fan of hats. Secondly I wanted to ask you a few questions about sewing. (E-mail: stertz4213@hotmail.com)
