Yorkshire Tatreez

Join Yorkshire Tatreez for two hours of mindful stitching.

An opportunity to learn about the ancient art of Palestinian cross stitch embroidery, and craft yourself a bookmark. Yorkshire Tatreez is an inspired project, developing under the guidance of a group of passionate stitchers and designers. Our aim is to share stories behind the tatreez patterns used for centuries on household items and women’s clothing, especially the classic Palestinian dress or ‘thobe’.

Come and meet Yorkshire Tatreez. Kate, Anisa, Shaida, Susan, Nabeela and others in the group will welcome you and you will be guided in stitching a small motif onto aida, and choosing a bookmark to mount your work on. After that you’ll be let loose to tatreez the world.
