I'm trying to reconnect with my native heritage and culture. Videos and comments sections like these are such a huge help... Thank you for teaching daughters who aren't yours 🥺
I got ribbon skirt material as a Christmas present, but the gift giver did not put it together. I finally got the courage to make it myself, by looking at this video. I yelled, "Nishke!" The lady is using the same material that I have! This is such a good sign I think. I'm ready to give it a go. Miigwetch.
I can hear how sharp those scissors are. After sewing for 43 years, I love the sound sharp scissors make on cotton. This is a wonderful tutorial, though. Thank you so much!
Such a beautiful video! Your voice is so calming - that's important because I get nervous when I think about sewing. I just want to do a good job! So your gentle guidance is so comforting. Thank you for this excellent tutorial!
Thank you so much, amazing instructions. With your calm voice you helped me relax and face my fear of making 2 ribbon skirts for my granddaughters. One is Native and the other Metis. We live in Ontario and Alberta Canada. They are both so trilled. 😊🧡🧡
Thank you for sharing beautiful lady, i can't wait to try this out. i have all my materials i just been waiting for a proper lesson and i think i found one. thank you so much.
Hi thanks for the video and thanks for sharing of how to make a ribbon skrit it is fun to make but the ones that I make is fold over skrit thinking of making one with a ribbon shirt to match it 😊
When measuring a larger waist measurement, is it still the same 4 inches you add to the measurement to assist in ease and hemming of the finished skirt waist?
Add about 3-4 inches. So that would be for a 34 inch waist, adding 3 to both sides would make it 6inches. So add 34+6=40. 40 inches for bottom hem of one panel. Do that for however wide you want it, not too wide though, or it'll look like an umbrella lol😆
Is there another video where you show exactly what you mean by adding (marking) the three inches before you joined the bottom to the waist? I'm don't understand.
I would have loved to see the finished ribbon skirt longer than half a second quick glance, and What's the point in making a ribbon skirt video without allowing to see the full beauty of it. Otherwise, Beautiful Indigenous Woman teachings...

Hi thanks for the video and thanks for sharing of how to make a ribbon skrit it is fun to make but the ones that I make is fold over skrit thinking of making one with a ribbon shirt to match it 😊
I love your belt? Where can i found one similar to the one you have?
Chi miigwiich for this teaching!
It’s só beautifull ❤️ . Allso the shirt you wear.
When you line the hem to the waist for the diagonal cut, are you lining it to the 9 or 13?
Thank you for this!
Thank you for this teaching❤️ can i ask where you got the beautiful belt your wearing?
thank you!!!! Appreciate the step by step process.
When measuring a larger waist measurement, is it still the same 4 inches you add to the measurement to assist in ease and hemming of the finished skirt waist?
You didn’t show how you sewed the second ribbon. Just beside the the first ribbon straight stitch or zig zag?
Miigwech for making it nice and short and not like 5 part series thats one hour and a half long each
N I ce!💞
Where can I get applique? I'm trying to finish my daughter's ribbon skirt for the pow wow and I can't find any
Can you show us how to make Ribbon Shirts for men?
Can someone explain the waist measuring? Why did she use 36 n divide by 4?
It’s because of how she folded it to cut. When folded in half, you can assume one side of that folded panel is 1/4th of your skirt.
Beautiful
Do you use straight stitch or zig zag on the ribbons.
Thank you!
How do you measure the waistband? I'm having trouble figuring out the right way.
Actual waist width minus 7 inches with an inch overlay when sewing the ends together.
I am so confused by the measurements and I don’t know how to make it wider on the bottom so you can walk more comfortably
Add about 3-4 inches. So that would be for a 34 inch waist, adding 3 to both sides would make it 6inches. So add 34+6=40. 40 inches for bottom hem of one panel. Do that for however wide you want it, not too wide though, or it'll look like an umbrella lol😆
How does one prewash the ribbons so they don’t pucker in future? Won’t they tangle up in washer or lingerie bag??
You don't. Your ribbons will be washed after they're applied to your skirt.
Is there another video where you show exactly what you mean by adding (marking) the three inches before you joined the bottom to the waist? I'm don't understand.
Starting the marking from the waist, go straight down for 3 inches, then do the diagonal line to the bottom. So it kind of looks like a glass beaker?
@@romigizi Thank you
How would you add pockets?
CLH my cuz says your the best...
ty so much

Okiiii

You need do a better video. I couldn't hear what your say half of the time
Sorry you found it difficult to hear the presenter. We do upload closed captions with the videos to increase accessibility. you should be able to turn those on and off on each video as you need.
Please make a video on how to do lace overlay! I need to know!
Going to buy me a sewing machine and everything to make a ribbon skirt always wanted to learn and I know you can do anything you put your mind to.
Wonderful!
