Scarf Tying Guide for the Trendy Look

by @ 7:36 pm. Filed under Neat Finds

Trendy Hijab has the neatest ideas for how to wear hijab. I realize she didn’t come up with them on her own (or maybe she did). She sells neat accent scarves too to jazz up a look.

Neat Finds: Koshiba Crepe

by @ 10:24 am. Filed under Neat Finds

I heard mention of koshiba crepe in one of my Yahoo! groups. The gal said abaya made of koshiba crepe are cooler in the summer than ones made of cotton (if that was you, feel free to leave a comment taking the credit for the tip). I was really surprised by that. I had always thought a natural fiber would be cooler than a synthetic one.

So today I was wondering where I could buy an abaya made of koshiba crepe. I tried searching on Google—didn’t do any good. Well…it may have done good if I had viewed more pages, but after viewing the first page of results, I remembered my own custom search engine that I had made just for this circumstance. It’s a Google search engine that searches only the contents of the Islamic clothing sites. BINGO! One store selling koshiba crepe abaya/jilbab—at least the only one I’ve found to date. Leave it to Jenneh at Al-Mujalbaba to already be promoting this fabric. One of her passions is fabric, and her store is the only English-medium one I’ve found that sells the fabric that abaya are made of too. God willing, Jenneh’s fabric sales will leap after my friend, neighbor, stand-in mother, and fellow convert to Islam (all one person) launches her modest and Islamic clothing pattern business. I cannot wait to tell you all about that! As soon as she gets her newsletter sign-up form on her blog, I’ll tell you all about it.

I guess this is a good place to point out my other custom search engines. They are all listed in my right-hand side menu and below:

  • Christian Clothing Search
  • Islamic Clothing Search
  • Jewish Clothing Search
  • LDS Clothing Search
  • Sun Protective Clothing Search
  • Vintage Pattern Search

    Modesty is a positive paradigm for fashion choices; not a strain of fashion removed from the mainstream.

    And this world’s life is naught but a play and an idle sport and certainly the abode of the hereafter is better for those who guard (against evil); do you not then understand?
