DIY HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN ABBAYA/DRESS!

Ignore my long waisted mannequin, she be brokedid LOL
Piccies coming soon when I get a chance to neaten it up a little and wear it!
This is the commonly know abbaya style 'farasha' which means 'butterfly' for obvious reasons, the batwing-ness to it!
I did this very quickly for you guys, I urge you all to TAKE YOUR TIME when doing yours and thinking through every step so that its logical in your head lol.

Christian woman here I just LOVE the way Muslim woman dress I’m inspired by the fashion it is very respectable and beautiful. So modest !!! Thank you for this video looking forward to making my own dress like this one.

[@monique4ames]

Me too

[@siddiqasurti3874]

Lovely comment! We believe in Jesus and Mary too, and I always say if you saw Jesus with the long beard and Mary with her full body covering walking down the street, which religion would you think they belonged to. Just some food for thought. 😊

[@smolcutie1773]

​@@siddiqasurti3874It's not only Muslim women who wear head coverings and niqabs, some Orthodox Christian communities and some Orthodox Jewish communities do as well, keep in mind that during Jesus's time (and before) Jewish women wore head coverings and in the Early Church Christian women also wore head coverings although nowadays most Christian & Jewish women don't. Personally as an Orthodox Christian I wear veils similar to a hijab and I would like to wear niqabs too but because wearing niqabs it's not the norm where I live I don't because I don't want to be bullied. Also many non Muslim men have beards, in fact most men (54%) currently have a beard and in some Orthodox Jewish communities facial hair are considered so holy that men refrain from even combing their beards, fearing they will pull hair out.

[@dagmarramgad5441]

I am not muslim but regardless, I think this is a beautiful look. I plan to crank a few out after I fire my machine up this week. I saw some women wearing abaya at my work and they are very striking. Much more of an intriguing look than woman who just run around in skin tight everything. People need to open their minds when it comes to this fashion. I think it's beautiful!

[@daniela336]

I totally agree with you. I am not a Muslim too but I am absolutely in love with this type of style. :)

[@sheonmorgan9980]

I also find that Muslim ladies appear very chic and I agree we need to cover up more. It also enhances our mystique 🙂👍

[@cotiyahadani6494]

I pray for you to be Muslim if allaah say

[@cotiyahadani6494]

You 2 because your heart is beautifull all of you mansha allaah

[@daglamorous69]

New subbie! I love the style of the abaya and Muslim culture as a whole. I am Catholic and I appreciate the modesty of the dresses. I agree with other comments wayyy better than skin tight. It is very classy. Thank you for the tutorial can't wait to make my own.

[@Noorisgood]

Rayne Rosario Wow... Such a Lovely Comment 😄

[@sydneytowers4114]

OMG!! I found you! I have saved this video so I can do this but couldnt find it or recall your name to get back to it. HOURS ! I have been hunting for it. Thank You Thank You Thank You Thank You for making his video I find it be the most comprehensive I have found with the best benefits. Again Thank You

[@kaydickerson1229]

Blessed Ramadan. I have very thin hair due to medical issues. I enjoy all your Muslim attire. Great styling !

[@kayt9645]

FINALLY. A MUSLIM LIKE ME WHO LOVES TO DESIGN/MAKE OWN CLOTHING. INSTANT SUB

[@lowlyffangirl1025]

Ok i really really hope you read this coz i was scrolling around and came across your video and you are HILARIOUS! I mean it ,like i have seen tutorials before but you're the only one who didnt make me want to skip to the actual sewing parts ,plus your sense of humour? You and i should be besties lol (I'm not a creepy stalker ,just a teenager with no life on KZbin) ...anyhow ,jazakAllah for this! My abaya is pretty much exactly the same except that it isn't worn by a creepy mannequin...lame joke sorry but yea now i can even make butterfly styled dresses xD so thanks a bunch for sharing ♥

[@harliv6117]

I loved your styling and the simple but fun tutorial! Plus, I think you look gorgeous in your glasses and they suit your fun personality!!! I'm really glad I came across your video:)

[@sheonmorgan9980]

Miranda, you have that so right 😌

[@rahimahassan2009]

thank you so much for this i love it I was having a hard time finding someone to make it for me but then i noticed i could just buy online but for a long time i wanted to learn how to make it myself, i have already fabric its been around for a couple years but today was the day i had time to look up how to and this is so simple and you are so cool how you explain, i am an artist i paint on anything fabric canvas shells, and i do a lot off crafty stuff like bags jewellery skirts from jeans just add fabric in the middle after taking the seam out, making clothes is so fun. ive made a kids pajamas before hand made no sewing machine!! it was a school project, so for years i wanted to have a sewing machine and learn more , my daughter also wants a sewing machine she does graphic design but also draws and paints so i think it will be great to get one and have fun with it together, i cant wait, and this is a good video to learn and i really knew it would be that easy i just had to see it done to confirm what i started was correct and it is, the fabric i have i made it into abaya but with pins without watching anyone or a video so i only need a machine and thank you for this im gald i watched it, i cant wait to make lots! -Abaya for every woman! peace

[@Righteous_soul]

I want to say that I absolutely love you. I have watched many videos tonight that start with the fabric already folded and I wasn’t able to make sense of it. YOU held the fabric up to yourself so I was able to understand the folds!!!! Thank You soooooo much. May ALLAH REWARD YOU!!!

[@fatimasyeda9601]

You are so so so silly and adorable Masha'Allah, such a lovable personality

[@sUjU91]

I'm Catholic but I would totally wear this... I think I'll make it after I finish a dress I started

[@marinadelabre928]

I like how everybody meets on here. :) I'm not muslim but I do like really much what you did, and how you look in general, it's really inspiring and I'm planning to do something like that for the summer, maybe shorter, like at my knees, and kimono-like fabric if I can find one ! Anyway thank you, your video makes my day !

[@saralee3987]

Oh god the way your looking at the camera is so funny lol

[@aylinaqayeva8096]

You are very funny girl )) i liked your job.well done!

Your humour is refreshing. Ha! Enjoyed your video!

[@ahanasakh2014]

This hijab style is everything 😍😍😍😍🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@VintageVelvets]

Very nice Dina! Masha'allah love how easy you made it for beginners :). I've been sewing for awhile so it may be easier for me to play around with my chosen fabric to create a cool eid outfit, seeing as am broke (just keeping it real) so thanks for this lovely video Dina :D. Happy Ramadhan X

[@mir_mustafa6102]

Soooo cute.....this is the beauty of ABAYA

[@martynabellini1572]

Your face sewing the fabric- priceless! :D You're funny Dina :D nice one

[@adorableladyimp]

Your faces when you were sewing cracked me up, gurrrlll! Can't wait to see the final product!

[@IvliaVespasia]

By the way, made this but did it all with hand sewing. Because there's no real strain on the side seams I just used straight stitch for the side seams and for the neatening of the cuffs and hem. Very very quick and works just as well. If there is a strain on the seams I either back stitch and then turn the top of the seam over and re-stitch using straight stitch or just straight stitch, turn and straight stitch again. This also helps to prevent the edges of the seams fraying. ps have 3 sewing machines and none of them are working hence have become very fast at hand sewing.

[@rubakazi2026]

I love watching this video again and again...love dina.. hilarious af!

[@jcole1159]

This was the best tutorial on how to make this abbaya/kaftan! Thank you so much I'm excited to make some!

[@sadzii10]

Absolutely LOVED this!! Have sooo many ideas already and finally have an EID outfit! thank you so much Dina! :) xx

[@TreasureHealth-ch7vz]

Beautiful glasses... I love them I recently got new ones but black frames are my favorite, it took me a while to transition

[@diamondlyvt]

Haha..dat face when she sewing her dress...haha love you girl!

[@IvliaVespasia]

Thanks for the video, will make one for my daughter (and maybe myself) using this pattern. Love the belt around the waist idea. And for Zainab Salam, use a lightweight georgette chiffon for the main body of the abaya/caftan and then make a straight under-dress in the same/contrast fabric with short/long sleeves to wear underneath to act as a lining. You can even make a number of over and under robes in different colours to mix and match thus making a different look every time you wear one.

[@Whatbeautyistojen]

loooveee this sooo beautiful dina as always !!! love the abbay and love your outfit as well!! and love you

[@m.arya.m]

I used this tutorial/pattern to make my first butterfly abaya 8 or 9 years ago. I gave the pattern to someone and they stitched it for me. Almost a decade later I'm going to stitch one for myself so I somehow found my way back to this video

[@michellejackson6098]

I didn't know you could sew Dina! I like your glasses and hhjab! I hadn't seen you like this yet. you look great no matter what you wear because beautiful personality.

[@naughtynice]

I jus love the funny dance n funny faces u were making....I never done any sewing in my whole life apart from stitching button lol.....you should open school n I will come to learn stitching....I luv ur style....where did u get ur trouser cz it looks so comfy n so hijab friendly?

[@emiliesmith9917]

I am indifferent to her, I suppose. Hijab is important, but it isn’t the most important part of Islam.

[@ahamilton3435]

@@emiliesmith9917 its very important and is the identity of a muslima. If Allah made something literally obligatory im pretty sure its very important. Especially to Allah.
