Do you follow the "No Sewing on sundays"?

Its Sunday and I so desperately want to sew today! My husband follows the old tradition/ rule that no one is allowed to sew on Sundays. His mom wouldn't sew on this day either, which is where I believe he picked up this "rule".
I didn't finish my sewing project and the countdown is on for it to be completed by a certain day way to close.
My fingers are itching to get to sewing the final touches on a few things important to my daughters.
I just don't want to run the risk of actually sewing on a Sunday. I accidentally did once on my sewing machine and my needle broke (it was my only one at the time!). So I had to wait awhile til next pay to buy new needles. Then another day I accidentally sewed on Sunday, thinking it was another day (husband had his normal days off on different days...) and the entire project I had hand-sewn had to be taken out because I sewed the project together wrong sides in!
So I don't think its worth the risk of bad luck for me... Do you sew on Sundays?

I sew when the inclination hits. No regard to day of the week. I make sure my supplies are always available. Sewing machine needles break....more often because I'm in a hurry than because of any day of the week.

good to know that about needles breaking. I'm still new to using mine which was an amazing gift. Its a vintage one so I tend to go real slow for fear of breaking it or getting my fingers caught!

@Daelii I'll make time for them when they get home. It's been almost 7 months since I've seen them in person.

well not on Sundays our folks here in the Philippines would not let us sew during holy week as just in case your fingers gets prick on the needle it won't heal..in my part if it is superstitious belief i let them be,my reason is just simple to respect the occasion is all.
