Salaams sis, hope you are well, just wanted to thank you for showing us how to sew. I have finally made my first long dress from scratch, all measured and sewn by myself. Yes, I made mistakes, but I know now how to fix them for next time. Everyone was so impressed and so was I. Your abaya course is really BRILLIANT , and so easy to follow. Thankyou for doings this.
Sara
Thankyou a hundred times. You don’t know how happy it made me, making my own clothes. Could not have done it without this course. I loved how I could log into my videos when the kids were asleep and watch all the videos. Better than Netflix!
Zainab
It took me an hour and half to complete my pattern (I know this cos my food was delivered at 6.33 lol) it was very easy to follow. I kept pausing the video, to repeat the steps where I needed to. I watched the video twice. I also kept everything ready to implement the work, my ruler, pencil, tape measure, scissors – and the videos on my iPad. I just Loved the notes and diagrams that Riz provides in all the modules. Makes it so easy to follow.
Zahra
I was so nervous, when I purchased this course, that I kept putting it off. I generally like to read through content before I start something, but I have enjoyed watching these lessons so much, that I have gone though two full modules in just 2 days! I LOVE it. Rizwana makes it very simple and easy to understand and I am totally obsessed with the course. thankyou so much for the course, something like this is really needed.
Shahida
My daughter graduated as an Alima, I was really happy and thankful for her achievement. Anyway, we decided to celebrate her achievement by having a party for her. With all the excitement, I made a maxi dress with the help of the abaya course. I almost spent 2 weeks in completing it with all the kids drop offs and pickups, house work and outdoor work. I'm so pleased with my dress and its definitely worth all the effort. Cant wait to make more abayas.
