WHO THIS IS FOR

This Thobe Guide was created for independent learners who would like to learn the hand-embroidery of a Palestinian dress (Thobe) from the comfort of their home. The comprehensive instructions included will walk students through the making of a six-branch dress practiced throughout Ramallah and other regions during the 1960-70's to current times. If you are the type of stitcher who prefers to go at their own pace, is ready to take their tatreez skills to the next level, and is only missing the access, knowledge, and tools to create your own thobe, then this Thobe Guide is for you! Read on!

WHO THIS IS NOT FOR

If you are a beginner of tatreez, have never used a sewing machine, have never used a paper pattern, and/or have never used Waste Canvas, you may find difficulty in following this guide and may require additional assistance.

MATERIALS INCLUDED

1. A Printed Thobe Paper Pattern that was developed by Badan Collective with professional seamstresses, pattern makers, and size graders. This pre-measured and sized pattern will help you prepare and cut the pieces of your thobe as well as assemble them after tatreez. *This Paper Pattern is based on the Six-Branch Dress—a pre-1948 style found in the Ramallah region and named after the six vertical bands of embroidery that run from waist to hem.

2. A Comprehensive Instruction Manual. This will walk you through the 1. preparation and cut of your fabric, 2. placement of Waste Canvas, and 3. assembly of your thobe pieces.

3. Two Video Instructions to give you a visual representation of the Instruction Manual.

4. Intifada Thobe PDF Designs for Stitching digitized by Badan Collective. The tatreez designs included are for the 1. chest panel, 2. badan/skirt, and 3. the sleeves. *This digitized Intifada Thobe design (optional) is a term coined by Widad Kawar for dresses that emerged during First Intifada, 1987-1993. We adapted this design for our Thobe Guide to signify that learning the creation of a thobe in the diaspora is our act of resistance. Students may stitch the provided Intifada Thobe design or create a design of their own.

5. (Optional) 12 Count Waste Canvas provided in a standard 3 yards, sourced directly from Palestine. This is the best Waste Canvas to use for a Palestinian thobe and is now accessible for purchase along with this Thobe Guide.

Amazing, clean and natural ingredients!
Set name: Adult Tube - 3.4oz., Set name: Adult Tube - 3.4oz.
Literally the best sunscreen I have tried so far! Main ingredient is grass fed beef tallow which is what I’ve been looking for. I’m an outdoor/wedding photographer so I’m more susceptible to skin cancer due to genetics. Yesterday I used it all day for an outdoor wedding, reapplying every 2 hrs and this saved me so much!!! No white cast residue so I was applying quickly in between big moments and the formula is lightweight, no odor, goes on quick and smoothly and it’s not greasy! I have so much appreciation for the clean, natural ingredients

I really like this Grass-Fed Tallow Mineral Sunscreen. It feels natural on the skin and doesn’t cause irritation. The texture is smooth, easy to apply, and gives good sun protection. I also like that it uses mineral ingredients and doesn’t have a strong chemical smell. It leaves a slight white cast at first, but it blends in after a few minutes. Great option for people with sensitive skin

No burn after a week on Lake Havasu
Set name: Adult Tube - 3.4oz.
A week on Lake Havasu in the Arizona sun without any burning. The sunscreen goes on smoothly and works in quickly. No difficulty getting the white tint to go away. No odd smell. No sticky feeling. For reference I am of Scandinavian decent with fair skin and very blonde hair.

easy to blend AND no white cast? UNREAL but true
Set name: Adult Tube - 3.4oz.
i was initially drawn to this sunscreen because i saw it had a great EWG score (1). i hesitated at first because of the price but very happy i went through with my purchase. i have medium to tan combination skin and this sunscreen was very easy to blend onto my face, given that it has a moisturizer like texture. and the best part? NO WHITE CAST. only removing a star because it is still pricey especially for the size which is why I've been limiting its use to my face lol
