This is to purchase a seat in the Summer 2025 cohort of The Thobe Project meeting on Saturday mornings at 11am EST/10am CST/8am PST. For international time zones, please see the note below.

This course covers instruction for how to create your own Palestinian thobe using historic sewing methods - you will receive support from selecting your supplies to completing your wearable thobe. Instruction for this course spans approximately 20 months. This cohort will begin on Saturday, July 12, 2025, and will conclude in Fall/Winter 2026.

Please note - this is not a course for other instructors. I do not permit individuals to take this course and reteach any part of it either in public or private platforms. Thank you for understanding - it has always been my commitment to make this course accessible for all who choose to embark on this journey, not reteach it.

This course is conducted virtually and meeting dates are Saturday mornings at 11am EST/10am CST/8am PST. Live attendance is always encouraged to be sure that you can get specific questions answered as they pertain to your project, but recordings are available as well to support your journey. Class sizes are intentionally small to ensure many of the questions that arise each cohort can be answered for each practitioner. No sewing experience is required, but you should already know how to do tatreez as that is not explicitly taught in this course.

Have questions? Please reach out. You can also speak with a current practitioner in the course if it would be helpful when deciding if this is the right next step in your journey.

Please note this course includes approximately 60 hours of live instruction over the course of 20 months plus 3 optional drop-in hours monthly that include practitioners from various cohorts coming together to learn alongside each other.

Note: If you are an international participant, recordings are provided and you will have access to live support via the virtual tatreez circles and our cohort chat groups. In the past, I have had individuals complete their entire thobe only with the recordings and attendance at a few of the live circles!

The Thobe Project - Join the Summer 2025 Cohort

$480.00

The Summer 2025 cohort will meet on Saturday mornings at 11am EST (10am CST/8am PST) for an average of 100 minutes each session. A few of our beginning sessions will be 2 hours, but you will always know ahead of time when we will have a longer session. Our first meeting date will be July 12th. We will meet every Saturday for the first 12 weeks. At that point, our schedule will shift slightly to promote flexibility as you complete a majority of the embroidery alongside practitioners from various cohorts. I will hold virtual studio hours during this time to support the embroidery process and questions that arise. All course meeting dates will always be on Saturday mornings at 10am CST (11am EST/8am PST).
The base cost for the 20 month course is $480. You may enroll in one of the payment options outlined below:

3 Payments Plan

First Payment of $280 due to secure your spot

Second payment of $100 due 30 days after registration.

Third payment of $100 due 30 days after second payment.

If you need to make arrangements for a different payment plan option, please reach out to me by email or social media and I can work with you. Refunds of partial course fees are on a case by case basis only for extenuating circumstances.

Please note, the course of our journey will include approximately 60 hours of live instruction, plus countless hours of support via virtual tatreez circles & the online platform. It is my hope that the cost of the course makes these skills and traditions accessible to all.
One week before the beginning of the course, you will receive a supply list. During our first session (or sooner by request), we will cover all supplies needed to complete the project. You will be responsible for purchasing anything you do not have. The supplies are not extensive and the largest purchase you should anticipate will be fabric. You do not need a sewing machine, but if you have one, you can use it for certain parts of the project (the actual construction is taught in accordance with historic methods by hand).
