In the world of Jewish sewing, certain projects stand out not just for their cultural significance but also for their symbolic beauty. Among these, the kippah, also known as a yarmulke, holds a special place. It’s a symbol of reverence, humility, and connection to something greater than oneself.

This original Sew Jewish kippah design has a lower profile than typical kippahs — the middle of the kippah sits closer to the head for a refined look.
