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.

Exelente
Color: BCMY
Excelente tinta para sublimación. Los colores salen vivos y muy bonitos en las impresiones. Las botellas son fáciles de rellenar y compatibles con mi Epson EcoTank. Hasta ahora la calidad me ha gustado mucho y las impresiones quedan nítidas y profesionales. Muy recomendada para comenzar en sublimación

Love this ink, but I do wish that it was easier to fill. I have to use a syringe to refill my ink... I'm using an epson ET 16600.
