From the city of Salt, Sanaa Abu Fares began her journey with embroidery in modest steps, often gifting her friends handmade embroidered pieces. These small gestures gradually grew into a real project when she launched a social media page under the name Sanaa_embroidery, where she shared her passion and creations with others.
Sanaa first learned embroidery at school, then gained additional knowledge from her mother’s experience. Through continuous practice, she refined her skills and reached a level of mastery and distinction. Her family and friends were her greatest encouragement, motivating her to transform her talent into a project with her unique touch.
Sanaa creates embroidered frames, handbags, trays, and handmade ornaments, using materials such as Aida fabric, embroidery threads, needles, and wooden frames. What makes each piece special is the story it carries: she draws inspiration from Jordanian and Palestinian heritage, blending cultural identity with a modern spirit. As she says: “Every piece I make is not just embroidery, but a story—a mix of authenticity and a contemporary touch.”
Embroidery has become part of her daily life, teaching her patience and precision, and giving her a proud way to express herself. Today, Sanaa aspires to open her own workshop, empower other women to learn the craft, and expand her products into Arab and international markets, keeping heritage alive for future generations.
These products were supported through Khairat Al-Dar project.
Khairat Al-Dar is a digital platform launched by the Ministry of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship as a pilot initiative to empower home-based businesses in Jordan, providing them with an integrated environment to market their products in a modern and effective way.
