]]> Comment on DeZines by Zahra: Modest and Islamic Clothing Patterns!! by Denise http://drawn-together-by-modesty.com/featured-stores/dezines-by-zahra-modest-and-islamic-clothing-patterns/#comment-98 Denise Tue, 05 Aug 2008 14:39:41 +0000 http://drawn-together-by-modesty.com/featured-stores/dezines-by-zahra-modest-and-islamic-clothing-patterns/#comment-98 I think this is wonderful idea. Finding clothing that is long enough or modest enough has become a problem espcially for us larger people. Also when my daughter was ready to have a baby,it was a boy, she found that a triditional salweez kameez for an infant did not exist and she had her heart set on bringing him home in one. Being a sewer I set out to fix that. I made a pattern to sew her one including a kufi. I am have since made patterns for it ranging from xs to large so that he will have them for any occasion she wishes. I am currently making him one for Eid. That is also a gap I have found. I enjoy sewing and am looking forward to her patterns being available. And I also agree heavy paper makes a pattern last longer. Denise I think this is wonderful idea.

Maybe something like an underscarf or hijab cap pattern? Or undersleeves/armcovers? Most indie pattern sites I visit have a freebie section. :) Skirts! Most definitely!

I have many patterns that are old and cannot be found anymore because I have done this . It also saves money on ordering many copies of the same pattern for different family members. Just my 2 cents.

It is so comfortable and flowy. One friend saw it and said it was too pretty to be just a house dress. BTW C&B carries lots of skirts and has reasonably priced clothing with great sales.
