I just bought a wood-top dinner table. A couple of days old. Dan sepertimana lumrah bila dapat barang baru, I sangat2 berazam nak jaga baik2 supaya tahan bertahun-tahun.
And since we were going to have a kenduri doa selamat and housewarming hari ni, menggelupur lah I semalam mencari alas meja @ saprah untuk menutup meja I agar selamat dari sebarang "kecalaran" akibat pergeseran pinggan-mangkuk, gelas, toys, kuku, gelang dan tah apa2 lagi yang masuk logik akal.
Bukan I tak ada alas meja lama, tapi meja lama was a smaller table. Memandangkan keluarga I sekarang dah merangkap 6 orang dan in my household, total ada 8 orang (termasuk my mum and maid), maka meja 6-seater doesn't serve us anymore. We therefore upgraded to a 8-seater table, which is big enough to accommodate 10, when the need arises.
Considering I was pressed for time, I decided to go to the nearest place I thought I could find a tablecloth. Malangnya, the home decor shop I went to tak ada jual saprah, tapi ada jual langsir. Not wanting to waste much time, I pun sepantas kilat merekacipta design saprah yang I boleh buat, dan berapa helai langsir nak kena beli untuk buat saprah 10x6 kaki.

| The curtains I bought. One opaque curtain and 2 sheer curtains. |
I mula menjahit some time after dinner dan selesai kira2 tiga jam kemudian. Let me just say that it was quite challenging, especially tang part nak potong sheer curtain tu. Payah betul nak potong lurus. I buat teknik tarik benang untuk dapatkan garisan lurus, but when you have only so much time, and twice as much work... takde masa der akak nak tarik2 benang bagai. Berpinar mata nak kutil benang tu uols!
Walau bagaimanapun, berkat tekun dan sabar (yang hampir2 jugak nak padam), siap lah jugak saprah I yang tak seberapa itu. It could've been better, but this time, I gave myself a break and casted my need for perfection aside. Considering kesuntukan masa dan ke-terhad-an material, I would consider this little (bulky) express project a success. Next time, when I can take my own sweet time, insyaAllah I'd make a better saprah.
Finished product...
Akhir kata, to all mothers out there...
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

Cantik saprah you buat dalam keadaan mendesak. Kalau diberi masa, tak tahulah macamana cantiknya saprah you kerjakan. Eh, macam dah lama tak dengar orang sebut saprah, saprah ni tau!
