Palestine Tatreez Patchwork T-Shirt

Description

This shirt was inspired by the tatreez (Palestinian embroidery) samplers women often make in their journey of practicing the craft and learning how to traverse sewing new motifs. The tatreez symbols featured here primarily center on an Intifada theme, taken from a few examples of preserved thobe dresses; these "Intifada dresses" exemplify the effect that the Intifada and resistance to illegal occupation left on every part of Palestinian society and life. Demonstrating against the occupation was made illegal? Palestinian women embroidered it into their dresses instead *mic drop*.
