Welcome
to RabeeaMadeIt! A place for Sewing Enthusiast Moms!
Do
you want to sew for yourself? Or you want to give your home that cozy touch of
handmade? You want to sew for your children? You have come to the right place!
I am
Rabeea, mother of 4 little munchkins. I was born and brought up in
Pakistan. In my family, everyone was into sewing. It was natural I would fall
in love with it too. I gave up sewing when I got married and moved to Jeddah,
KSA.
After having my first baby and a big pile of clothes that needed alteration, I finally convinced my husband to buy me a sewing machine. Because of not sewing for more than 2 years, I had to relearn this craft from scratch. I practiced, wasted some fabrics, and made clothes and different household items.
Here
on Rabeeamadeit, I share my love for all things sewing, my journey through
motherhood and personal development. When I became mother, I was
hopeless, clueless, trying and failing at keeping my house in order and being a
mother. I was losing my sanity.
Then I realized if I want my circumstances to change, I will need to work on myself first. From there began my quest to improve myself.
I know how it feels to be away from our family and friends. As a mother, it is more difficult to do anything on your own. And the worst part is we do not know where to begin with!
Sewing and crafts kept me sane in the chaos. They gave me focus, a creative outlet and sense of achievement.
