Ribbon Skirt Kit - All Indigenous Nations
Limited stock currently available!
*** Currently, all ribbon skirt kits are pre-order. This means that your fabric will be ordered specifically for your kit and shipped out when I receive your fabric. Please anticipate a shipping time of between 2 and 3 weeks for your order. Thank you so much for your understanding. **
A full Ribbon Skirt Kit with everything you need to complete your very own straight skirt in any size up to 50”, along with instructions to do so and resources for further community connection. (If you require a kit for larger sizes, please email me at info@indigenousnouveau.com)
These Kits are designed to be a first sewing project, with simple enough instructions for anyone to follow who is new to sewing.
I would like to provide these kits to all Nations, but I do not presume to teach or share any knowledge or traditions that are not my own. The PDF that is currently available is not Nation-specific and does not touch specific teachings of the Ribbon Skirt, though the Metis specific version is coming very soon.
(If you are interested in the history surrounding the ribbon skirt and understanding its development in a Métis context , please visit www.theribbonskirtproject.ca)
$10 from the sale of every PDF, and $20 of every full kit goes to support more pro-bono kits through www.theribbonskirtproject.ca to distribute to Indigenous Individuals in need of connection to their community and suffering from isolation due to COVID, geography and financial difficulty.
Each Kit includes:
2 Meters of Indigenous Nouveau Organic Cotton Fabric, ecologically printed in Canada, Manufactured in North America
3 three colours of ribbon (110” of each colour), If you would like to purchase additional ribbons for your kit, please email me after your purchase.
Colour-coordinated thread
Tailor’s Chalk
One large safety pin
Glue stick
1 meter of elastic waistband
Recycled Cotton bag
PDF Download instructions to be emailed after purchase
Not included in each kit, you will need:
Sewing machine, and basic knowledge of its function
Iron
Scissors
Lighter
Each kit comes with the ribbons you see in the photos, but every so often I may run out of a particular colour or width. If this is the case, I will contact you prior to shipping.
Please order this kit separate from fabric and clothing orders.
If you would like to request a ribbon skirt kit in any fabric in my store, or would like additional ribbons added to your order, I can create a custom kit for you. Please contact me at info@indigenousnouveau.com.
