This video is several years old! I am aware that the quality of this video is not great, but I was new to filming and editing at this time. I will be creating a new ribbon skirt series soon!**

**NEW/Updated Ribbon Skirt Tutorial videos coming soon! Stay tuned!
The best advice I ever got: tack down ribbon with craft glue sticks instead of pins. So much easier to sew and the lines end up cleaner for me. I use the kind that washes out with water, it works great and comes out nicely just with hand washing.
I'm using both 😆
Ribbon skirts are a modern symbol f strength and resilience worn by us native women.

Can non natives make some?
@@honeybadgermerriemonarch2388 yes but as long as you know the meaning behind it. As long as non natives don't claim it as their own culture it's not cultural appropriation.
@@alexandrahenderson4368 ahh I see. I really wanna make one. So I’ll do my research on the meaning behind them 🥰🥰
@@honeybadgermerriemonarch2388 ❤️❤️❤️all I ask is that if you make them they shouldn't be considered costumes but similar to any other daily attire.
I'm a non-Native mom to three Native girls that need regalia for the powwow their school district puts on every year (I guess next year, since everything went to hell). We don't live near my husband's family anymore, so I have no one close by to teach me how - your video is SO helpful, thank you!
The fact your keeping your kids culture with them Is amazing
I’m so happy to hear you’re keeping up with your girls and upholding their culture for them that is so amazing
Wth! How's that possible!? ICWA law doesn't apply?
Did you cut the fabric at angle on sides or everything is cut straight? Your skirt looks perfect ! How long does it take you to make 1 skirt ?
@@khaze153 Her Native husband appears to have custody of his daughters. Duh
I just made my first ribbon skirt following this tutorial, almost cried tears of joy when i turned it inside out and it was finished! Thank you so much for sharing your easy ways! You should totally do an applique video! Much love :)
I’m so glad the tutorial helped! Congrats on your first skirt!
I wish the video would have showed how to do the appliqué, it’s beautiful
I just did my first ribbon skirt for my 3 year old watching this !!
I just ❤️ your tutorial. Very practical and real, you dont skip a step that’s rad. I’ve made 14 skirts with your help! I enjoy your video so much I play it over and over when i’m up late night skirt creating. Youre good company lol 😉. The most useful advice for me was widening the bottom and sewing the sides of elastic to deter rolling. 👍👍
🥺 14?! You have no idea how happy that makes me
Thank you Chelsey! I didnt realize how many sisters dont have anyone to make them a ribbon skirt. I’ve made ladies their first ever.... such a blessing. It wouldnt have been even 1/2 as successful without you girl!! Best CZcams channel i could ever come across
To make it a little less math, instead of multiplying by 3 then dividing by 2, you can just multiply by 1.5, you get the same thing
I've actually been wanting to make ribbon skirts for all my 4 older sisters but I never knew how to start, but your video really helped me get an actual idea lol I love your Wolf design by the way
Thank you!
Dalton YellowWolf this is such a wholesome comment ❤️
I tried to go by my grandmother’s patterns for our regalia. This was so much simpler and less stressful. Thank you for a great video. I haven’t made any new ribbon skirts in years. They turned out great.
I had to watch 4 different videos just to get to this one, and i wished i had watched it sooner. I could not understand how to do the waist band! Great job! Skirt looks beautiful! Miigwetch!
I've never been good at sewing. But I've watched this video at least twice now, hoping one day I'll find the courage to attempt to sew my first ribbon skirt 😅
Thank you for this wonderful video. I didn't know where to start and this was exactly what I needed 🙂
This is my day..
Tomorrow, it goes in the mail ❤
Oh wow, I hope I can do this! Awesome.
Beautiful work, thank you!
I'm a two spirit Yaqui and this tutorial is amazing!!!!!! Thank you can't wait to create.
It is soooo pretty! Thank you so much for doing this video, getting ready to make my first ribbon skirts for a friend, and I’m going to use your method! Wonderful! Love it!!
Thank you for this. Reconnecting native here and my 9 yr old niece is learning all we didn’t. I’m obsessed with making our own tribal clothing. This helps so much
I can really appreciate your video styling. It taught me lots as I’m not real savvy with a sew machine. Thank you 🙏🏽
You did a good job on your ribbon skirt, love the applique you did on it too! You go girl!
Thank you for this tutorial from start to finish, the skirt look amazing
Love this tutorial! Thank you:) Wanting to teach the Navajo girls in our Emergency Shelter home how to make ribbon skirts.. This will help!
I did it!
Thank you!😊
The intros to your videos always make me laugh. Thanks for sharing.
Beautifully made medicine skirt
Such a great video! Really gave a lot of great information! The skirt looks amazing and has really good flow at the bottom. I can't wait to start on my own!
Girl you made it look so easy now I can’t wait to try it
The dog diaper made me cackle 😂
I just made my first skirt using your tutorial. Thank you so much!
9:49 “And I’ll be able to walk and shit, you know.” 😂😂
Love it! So excited to make my own. Thanks so much for this video.
I’m getting so many ideas just watching this, i want to make some for me and my sisters💖 thank u
Your skirt came out beautiful
Thank you for this video! I’m making a regalia by myself for the first time and I’m so nervous!
You GOT this!
Awesome video and great teacher!!!
Beautiful! Thank you for showing us how!
Thank you for sharing this💕 I can make my own ribbon skirt now🌚
So pretty! Where did you get the appliqué stencil?.
Very nice, but it would be helpful to show how you cut and sew the applique.
Great video! Love those ribbon colors!
Thank you auntie ☺️🧡✊🏽
That’s beautiful!
I love the skirt, very nice.
Very informative! I learned a lot from this video. Thank you for sharing!
Looks great! Thanks for the tutorial!
Holy crap, I’m here by accident & WE HAVE THE SAME SKIRT😱‼️ I sht you not😂✊🏼🤟👌❤️🤔 NEW SUBSCRIBER HERE🙋🏽♀️👊🏼(fist bump)
nice work!
So beautiful! I really want to try!!
What a beautiful skirt 😍
Chelsey, could you do a video (when you get time, i know you’re busy af) showing how to add overlay to a skirt? ❤️ stay safe
Meegwich ( Thank you )
Thank you! I made my first ribbon skirt from this!
Awe! I’m so glad!!!
Beautiful work!
Great Tutorial thank you
You are so cute 😊
Absolutely beautiful!
Is there a significance of the ribbons being set slightly apart or sewn directly next to each other?
Good job!!! Your really informative
Beautiful job! These ribbon skirts are too expensive to buy (believe me, I’ve been searching online for some ribbon skirts for about a year and I have 5 girls in my family), so yeah I’m gonna use most of your techniques 😊. Love the lighter trick -used that trick on the powwow trail many times. Miigwetch
Ok when you cut diagonally did you just cut it from eye point of view or measured it
51 and 70
Don't mind me, just taking notes🤓
25 1/2 × 35
I love it!!! 😍😍
Beautiful skirt. Great video. Ekosi.
I love it awesome work!
Thank you so much for this video! I am going to be starting my first skirt tomorrow. This will be the first piece I have ever made. Can I ask what type of material is best used for the skirt itself? And would you wash the material first? I assume ones the ribbons are on dry cleaning or hand washing after would be best?
Thank you!
I don’t have a sewing machine that does that fancy stitching lol what should I do? I’m trying to get into my roots and I absolutely would love to make one piece of regalia for myself and my daughter.
Very beautiful thank you for your help!
Beautiful 💜
I went to crow fair and saw ribbon skirts but seemed to cost a little to much so I figured I will make one :)
Thank u your video was very helpfull
Hey Chelsey, in your opinion can non-indig women wear ribbon skirts if they have children with an indig man. I'm wanting to make ribbon skirts for my nieces who are mixed, but I'd also like to make one for their mom. Any suggestions?
Dry clean or wash and hang? What kind of ribbons? Thanks
This is gorges! Where is the applique from?
how did you make the design of the wolf and moon?
I have an unopened package of a spool of ribbon. I don’t want to open it yet but need to know how much it is and all it says is 10800. How many yards or inches is this?
WhAt size is the ribbon you used here? This is so pretty
HI, how do you measure the elastic for the waist? I know in this video you wanted it to be 34 inches , but how would you measure , can you explain. thanks
How did you add the appliqué?
I think I could do this but I’m just really lost on the making the bottom bigger. My head hurts trying to figure out how to measure for that
You can cut the bottom and top the same size, so that you’re basically cutting a rectangle. I would advise that you cut at least 55 inches tho so you have enough hem space to walk
How do you decide how high or low to place your ribbons?
Do you ever do applique? I would love to see a tutorial
Hope this helps! czcams.com/video/EZLzdGHkQzw/video.html
Nice!
Haho ❤️
How do you measure the elastic for the waist? Nia;wen
How many yards of material
Wonder what type of material used for skirt.
Cotton
Is it "ok" to do like a hidden drawstring?
Like instead of a waistband? I think it would be fine. The thicker the drawstring, the better (most likely)
@@ChelseyMoon perfect! My weight shifts a lot but I've been wanting to make one as soon as things settle down and I get a new sewing machine!
Hello there! Where I attached my ribbon it came out wavy. Why did this happen, what did I do wrong? It doesn't look very nice.
Ann, you may not have had the ribbons well attached to the fabric before you began sewing. Try gluing your ribbon onto the fabric next time. Use a glue stick (cheap option) or “5o5 spray” (pricy option) to hold the ribbons in place before sewing.
@@redwillowcreations6919 thanks for the reply. That may be so now that I look at it I think it was because my zig zag stitches were to tight. Maybe a tension problem as well. Next time I'll use more glue.
If you did not prewash all of your fabric & ribbons they can shrink by different proportions. Prewash everything before you start.
Make sure your sewing machine tension is well set & threads lay evenly on both sides of the seam.
Don't pull your fabric when sewing. Just let the machine take it.
@@bythebayou5351 Wow, thank you, thanks for the tips. So far I only made the one skirt for my niece. She loves it!
Chelsey where is the best place to get ribbon?
Offray ribbon is a good brand. You can get it at Wal-Mart. JoAnn’s crafting stores carry it too. Hobby Lobby’s ribbon is good too.
2 seams.. cause using 1 looks crooked 🤪
Tea Length?
Yes, my skirt is tea length
The hem of a tea length skirt or dress falls between just above the ankle & mid-shin. So-called because that's the dress length ladies would wear to tea in the 1920's.
The music is sooo annoying 😮
Do you have kids
Awesome you want to teach some sewing technique, but profanity isn’t necessary.
She talks way too much for me
