Blast from the Past: Pillow's 7yaka!
http://ornamentalpeanut.com/.well-known/cgialfa By danderma | November 7, 2010
I have been decluttering lately when i dug into an old dusty box and found these! OMG! i remember how crazy we were about these when we were kids -and teenagers!- i remember going to from one Co-Op to another, looking at the little orange boxes sold in the kolaf store and trying to choose a 7yaka as we used to call it, then we would spend hour upon hour with the little threads and the little hook thing pulling the thread into a knot on the mesh! My mom made my first ever swan 7yaka into a pillow for me and the 2nd one i ever finished -bilzoor- was heart shaped therefore it took literally forever to find a heart shaped pillow that would fit. Still waiting!
Do you remember these “7yaka”? have you ever made pillows out of them?
OMG !! I had like 7 of them only 2 were completed 😛 9j wanasa w ta’6yee3 wagt
Eee perfect thing to pass time! Awal b3d mako hyata wala Avenues o ma7boseen bel bait 😀

o 3ad etseren falta lama tsawen il threads without using the hook ;p
LoooL i used to do it but i would get bored without the hook… Wallah it was fun!

loool did u turn them into pillows?
LOOOOOOOOOOOL i haveeeeeeeee 1!!! bes still i didnt turn into pillow!!
LoooL laish? I remember how excited about turning my first finished one into a pillow! it was like the best feeling of accomplishment EVER!
LOL I used to buy them alot but I didn’t complete them to the end 😀 I still have my incomplete pillows ^^
LooL I used to run out of little colored threads! They either put too much or too few
OMG!!! MY MOM TURNED MY SWAN 7YAKA INTO A PILLOW TOO !!
LoooooL my mom turned the swan into a pillow her self 😀 El thaher moms love swans!
I don’t know how you transfer the needle work to a pillow but you can put a heart-shaped hyaka as an applique on any pillow. If you want the exact same shape then instead of using pillows use batting and make the case in the shape of the pillow you want and then stuff it to fit.
: ) Kinz
OK i didn’t understand 1/2 the things you said but i get the general idea! It would be a great project wallah 7safa ga3da il pillow without being made into a pillow all these years.
Hehehe, I have a friend who is a passionate quilter (they make pretty blankets out of small pieces of fabric in patterns). Batting is another word for stuffing for cushions, quilts and stuffed animals. You can take your heart-shaped pillow to a place that does re-upholstery (tangeed) and ask them to make it into a pillow for you or you can take a pillow and have a tailor finish the edges and then attach it on top of it. You can also turn it into a wall hanging if you finish the edges and crochet a little yarn hanger from the top.It’s nice to have if you have children or grandchildren one day.
Oooh ok! You know so much about these stuff!!! and i know almost nothing *hangs head in shame*
I think my mom or someone did a quilt once… or knows about quilting… and my mom has a 7yaka framed and hung on the wall… i think she did it over 30 years ago… and my two lovely pillows…. other than that my knowledge is almost nill!
