About Yafiah and YFG

Welcome to YFG!

Hi, I'm Yafiah 

Thanks for taking a minute to stop by to read about me :) I'll try to keep this short. YFG began in 2006 in Philadelphia PA. I had accepted Islam as my religion 5 years earlier and was having a hard time finding clothing that fit my sense of style and my budget. I decided I would learn how to sew. This was no easy task as Youtube videos were not as plentiful as they are today and there were very limited live resources, I could rely on for help, so the recourse was trial and error. It took about 6 months to be proficient enough to sew my own things and about a year and half to get good enough to sew for others. Once I became very good, I got compliments and then orders to make garments for other women.  Fast forward a few years and I see a different need that I could fill... TEACHING! Many of my customers had asked if I may one day teach and I had always declined. As new vendors entered the market the quality of the garments in the Islamic community began to decline while the prices continued to skyrocket! I want for my sisters what I want for myself, so I began teaching! Now 15 years later I am serving the entire Tri State area and beyond teaching ALL Women not just MUSLIMAHS how to sew!
