Zaza’s not so crafty crafts.

These were done on a Brothers Embroidery and Sewing machine, I cant remember the model.

First choose a pattern (these were cards) and then the correct size frame. Thread the cotton and hoop your fabric to the frame and press start sit back and relax and your work is done. Amazing machines.

The machine I tried, I had to change the cotton for the different colors. Some I did on a silky material and some on linen.

The boring monotonous part is neatening the blocks after the work is done.

I have a few more which I made especially for my baby graphics, Insha Allah you can see them when I make my baby greetings.

MashaAllah sis zaza, these are so pretty!! You chose the colours really well. What do you plan to do with the blocks? I've seen embroidery hoops with their work inside placed on walls to decorate a home instead of paintings!! Also yes, I agree with sis umm an-nu'man, you should rename your thread!

sisters Umm An-Nu'man and Mabsoota.

The title is correct the machine did all the work.

I don't have any plans for the blocks except to use them in my graphic. Actually I think I made over 20

Sewing, embroidery, cooking not my cup of tea. I was just having fun.

I only have the pictures now and gave the blocks to my sister. She will find some use for them.

BarakAllahu fiki sister! This is very kind of you to show the pictures fro me

MashAllah this is wonderfull i agree you are zaza the crafty siter who don't even know she is crafty Allah barek!!!
you just had fun? THIS is to be crafty!

MashAllah it is very cute! And i agree with sister Mabsoota that you choosed your colors very well!

I guess you had an advanced machine, my embroidery machine (brother 950) has a limited loop: 4inch x4inch (or 10cm x10cm) But you can do so funny things mashAllah!

i'm still waiting for some graphics from you dear sister from easel and ink, to embroider!!Should i go in the request section?

Please Zaza, when your sister has made something with the blocks show us a photo!

Barak Allahu sister Um Zakaria for these lovely words.

Masha Allah today turned out to be a great day, 1st sister Aisha phoned and now I get this lovely Award.

i'm still waiting for some graphics from you dear sister from easel and ink, to embroider!!Should i go in the request section?

I don't understand, there is plenty of my work you can embroider. No need for a request

Please Zaza, when your sister has made something with the blocks show us a photo!

I don't think that is possible. I will have to check with sister Aisha as we don't allow members to post the work of others and my sister will not join the forum.

for the award.

salamu aleykum,

ah ok no problem , than pass the salam to your sister from another crafty muslimah!

It is not easy at all to use graphics from the forum to embroider, it needs a special software to digitalize, i have the smallest cheapest one (alhamduliLlah of course!) which can only digitalize very very simple graphics (and not all formats).
InchAllah i will talk about it in detail in the request soon.

Insha Allah I will convey your salams to my sister

Wowwwwww, ma'shaAllah, these are very beautiful. I concur with Munaqaba! This thread should be renamed :)

(I'd hate to see what you would think of my creations )

sister Amina. But seriously these machines are amazing. Sister Umm Zakaria will agree with me.

Insha Allah I will change the title when I do something myself.

I'm trying to take up knitting or maybe crochet or try one of those canvases where the image is already traced and you just need to jump from one hole to the other (not sure what you call them)

(I'd hate to see what you would think of my creations)

You know I love your work but I can't remember you sharing any crafts. Please do if you have any.

You haven't shared any work in a while.

Lovely dear Zaza mashaAllah tabaarakAllah

sister Aisha

Beautiful mashaAllah
Sorry for the late reply

MashaAllah they are beautiful! Well done dear sister

Barak Allahu Feeki

MashaAllah, how come I missed these knitting and crochet additions?! They are marvelous mashaAllah! Well done, I'm so very impressed sis Zaza!

Wa feeki Barak Allah.  It did take a while to get use to knitting and crocheting again as all I even did was the square pot holders in grade 3.

today with the Internet and YouTube anyone can learn to do anything, with a bit of time and lots of patience.

I like this site http://www.favecrafts.com/ Although it is a commercial site there are lots of ideas for crafts.

Looks like a good site, barakAllahu feeki!

Wa Barak Allahu Feeki
