Tudung is a scarf worn around the head by Muslim women in Malaysia. Tudung conceals the hair but not the face. That the main different between tudung and hijab.

In some Arabic-speaking countries and Western countries, the common meaning of hijab currently is of "modest dress for women," which some Islamic legal systems define as covering everything except the face and hands in public.Since the 1970s, hijab has emerged as a symbol of Islamic consciousness "and an affirmation of Islamic identity and morality" in opposition to "Western materialism, commercialism, and values.

Denim style Cushion


I had been given some old denim jeans a while ago all in good condition, I love it when they have that slight worn look, I finally got chance the other day to cut them all up (as you do!!) 

So I made this Pillow for my friends son who I know will love it. I monogramed his initials on the pocket so he can definitely say this is mine hand off!! 

My own Son wanted to keep it so it looks like I will be kept busy.
