Moderation is the key!! Unless you are really on a deadline to get a project done in a hurry - try to avoid the all-nighters if they upset your wife. Obsessing over a new hobby can be a bit annoying for a spouse. See if you can interest her in helping with a new project - maybe something for the two of you - and let her help pick out the fabrics. If you can get her involved you may find a great hobby you can enjoy together! Good luck!!
