WHY WE BUILT THIS70,000 stitches.
Lina BarkawiFounder, Lina's Thobe
70,000 stitches.
Two years.
One wedding thobe.
Tatreez isn't something to preserve behind glass. It's something you do, passed hand to hand, stitch by stitch, still alive in every diaspora home and every thobe passed down.
Making my wedding thobe, I kept hitting the same wall every tatreez maker hits: grid paper, scattered reference books, and design tools that were never built for this practice.
Tatreez.io is the tool I wished existed, built with and for the community that's kept this practice alive for generations.
