Eid-Ul Adha

Better late than never LOL! So my Eid Ul Adha was fabulous! The family prayed at Chambers park, we listened to the kutbah. Chatted with a few friends then headed to breakfast.

I'm normally not a pancake person, especially if I didn't make them, but decided to give Flap Jack a try. It was pretty good but the waiter was annoying, so if you know me personally you know she got no tip at all! I can't stand someone rushing me too eat and trying to remove my plate when you can clearly see I'm still eating but my glass is empty so where the heck is my refill LOL.

Anyway, after breakfast we dropped off ibn school work and headed to the mall for some light shopping while we waited for Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs 2, which was hilarious!

On the way home we stopped to get ice cream and apple pie.... I was done after that and just wanted to take a nap. If you want comment and share your Eid day below!
 
   I kept my outfit simple, black peplum by NASR Inc. with a long black studded shayla I bought from An Noor, black handbag Phillip Lim 3.1 for Target, shoes by Dolce Vita Marshall's find this summer that I never wore, cardigan by NASR_Inc. Oh! my henna was done by Adella.

A little about me and my blog

As salaamu alaykum and Hello! My name is Najla and I am a self taught seamstress and designer from Philly. I have been sewing since the age of 12. I use to sneak and cut up my clothes to make skirts and shirts for my cabbage patch dolls. Sewing by hand for quite some time until about 13 years ago when I received my first sewing machine as a gift from my husband. It was on LOL!

Here I will share some of my OOTD, shopping trips, fabric or sew purchases and advice. I hope to be starting a YouTube channel with some easy step by step sewing projects for modest dressing women and young girls who would love to start sewing.

Bookmark this page and I hope you all enjoy as I open my door and welcome you into my world of sewing, fashion, beauty and even haircare tips from time to time.
