the same to the other piece

i take the small one and put it inside the hole of the big one

this way

and that how its look like

i take the part with the spring and put it inside the button maker like this

and that how its look like

the buttons part

the buttons comes in two pieces

the almost flat piece i cover it with fabric

and the other one comes underneath it

how?? look at the following pictures

 

remember this part, we have done it before

 

i put the piece we are making inside it

after attaching the whole pieces inside that part, i take it and put it above the spring piece

1...2...3 press

it take little effort to work with it because its an antique tool but i like a lot and its reminds me of beautiful days

my exited visit to craft land

I am so excited to write about this visit, actually I returned back at midnight around 2 in the morning with strong headache or ells i was going to write about since I came back. But the main reason of not posting anything last night is my husband, he hide the broadband because he knew that I am attending to stay late to post it.




Before I begin, I want to thank Mayya, the Omani lady who own sew chic and unique, and she is the one who introduced me to this shop that she never visit, and told me all about it through her mails. So I loved to give this shop part of my time and visit it, so I dedicated this post to her. So let's

when i first arrived i was stunned from the entrance decoration, for the record, the shop is totally new, and opened 3 months ago, second floor in twon center in Dubai - Jumairah.
actually i know this center and i thought its new shop because i always go to the Obarj resturant, and i never see it before.

 

i talked to the worker their to tell them about the post that i will write about the shop and they told me that i should talk to Janifer, the lady who is responsible of the shop, so i talked to her by phone and i told her about what i am going to do and she welcomed the idea and gave me her email so i send her the post link. and then i started the photo cession..loool

 

 

 

There are Bafaf and brother sewing machine

30 Dirham per yard

 

go down to see my addiction

down

buttons ....yammmi 

 

the nice workers cutting my fabrics

mine mine mine

those mine too !!

 

This is my bill, i wonder my husband will take me back

 
these my stuff

My last impression



The shop has very unique stuff that you will never find it here unless you order it online, however its little bit expensive comparing to our local shops. But its better than online shopping specially that you are physically can test the products.


Jenifer told me that they will provide sewing patterns soon, and they already have quilting and crochet courses, and they will offer online shop so any one in the country can buy easily without the bother to visit. This is the site http://www.mycraftland.com/ and Jenifer is nice lady and very helpful. Pray for me that i can find Barnina shop open next time. I finaly went there.
