You have probably figured by now that if you want something bad enough you have to scarifice, well i choose to scarifice on sleep lol i wake up early after fajir prayers and sew.
After putting the girls to bed usually 8 – 9 pm i head upstairs to my sewing room and sew until approx 11pm and sometimes midnight. You are probably thinking ”oh poor Mayya she is not getting enough sleep”, but honestly i am loving every second of it.
I dont moan in the morning because i know that i willget at least 2 hours of doing something i love and enjoy
I actually noticed this morning that sewing makes me smile literally, the sound of the machine is music to my ears and handling fabric the colours oh where do i begin…(you get the picture, yes i am a sewing addict and LOVE IT)
Yesterday i started sewing the thread catcher for Sew it and this is what i came up with.

I know, i know red and black again? what can i say i am drawn to these colours and have so much of it why not?! (i should warn you my next project is going to make black and red too)

oh and instead of sewing another pincushion i used theflower pinsuchion i made remember this? (oh ignore the blue dots it my fabric marker)

Now i have to admit that this tutorial was not the easiest to follow, i had to read it aloud over and over again to get it. If someone were standing outside my sewing room would thing i have gone crazy!
Did anyone find it slightly confusing or was it only me?! oh and i meant to ask are my current choice of tutorials okay? or is there something in particular you would like a tutorial of? please comment and let me know your thougts
Thanks and looking forward to your creations







wow…..wow….you did it…that looks fabulous. I just love the colour you used.
I have not started ….. so cannot comment on the tutorial…just took the print out this morning and decided the fabric….hope to finish atleast by tomorrow….let me see
Thanks Nima red and black are my fav color combo, i look forward to seeing your thread catcher
That looks awesome and your sewing table is sooooooooo clean, now I can hang my head low after you saw my messy room the other week! LOL.
I think this looks much nicer than the plastic zip lock bag I have clipped to my table so I should give it a try.
Thanks for sharing. Oh and I can very much relate to the sewing at night, your time, lack of sleep but still happy comment … what is a gal to do heh?
Thanks Isra the table was only cleaned for the pic lol my room is in a worse state than yours. Still need to put up some shelves and organise some stuff.
I find this so handy to have every close by but not in the way, would love to see yours when you are done.
Well Done A.Mayya….

Mayya…my thread catcher is ready and i have blogged about it
