Pre-Cut Sewing Patterns in Every Size
Fully Illustrated Instruction Manuals
Patterns Built for Indigenous Bodies
​Over the last two decades, I've taught so many students how to design and sew their own Regalia from scratch. Now, I've turned my in-person classes into helpful videos and resources you can use in your own community.
​
Running Ribbon Skirt Workshops are not easy. Most of the barriers are in the pattern drafting. Will the skirt fit? Does it hang nice? How do you accommodate for different body sizes? I have seen how challenging it can be to run a successful Ribbon Skirt Workshop, so I created a Ribbon Skirt Workshop Binder that walk you step-by-step through each stage of designing, cutting and sewing your ribbon skirt, making running a workshop easy!
The Ribbon Skirt Workshop Binder includes; 28 pre-cut sewing patterns in Tea length, Long, Jr. Girls and Toddler sizes. Each binder comes with ALL the sizes I have available and instructions on how to adjust for plus sizes. They also come with 10 fully illustrated instruction manuals.
What the Ribbon Skirt Workshop Binder​ includes:
​
-
9 pre-cut sewing patterns in size XXS-4XL in Tea Length (for 5'4" and under) and 9 pre-cut sewing patterns in Long length (for 5'5" and over).

Being Native is hard. We face unrelenting challenges and loss. But through the hard things, we endure. After spending my life in our communities I see so many inspirational people who are working hard to build up their own communities. I created this for you. So you can be that person to create healing in a sewing circle. Sewing Circles are sacred spaces. So are you up to the challenge?
I’m Deanne Hupfield, a powwow dance teacher and Indigenous arts educator. I create Regalia making sewing patterns and online Regalia-making tutorials for Indigenous people who want to reconnect with their culture.
Over the last 20 years, I’ve taught thousands of Indigenous students how to make their own Regalia and dance powwow.
Participating in powwow dance and making regalia started my healing journey. I want to share this healing experience with you too.
Pre-cut sewing patterns organized neatly in a binder will
increase the success of your Sewing Program

I've taught sewing lessons in communities for over 20 years. The biggest hurdle is pattern making!
Students get bored or discouraged in the beginning.
Help remove those barriers so that you can get started right away!

Build the confidence of your community through sewing circles!
...Her tutorial videos are very detailed, and she breaks it down in simple and easy to follow steps. I especially like the fact, you can work at it at your own pace, there is no weekly scheduled meetings. You just watch the videos, learn the process...so no rush or pressure to get it done within a specific timeframe!!! I would suggest her workshops to anyone who is interested in learning to make a regalia. Best investment ever!!
