As you all know, I love to sew...it's my therapy. I made this ribbon shirt and entered it at a local village hall competiton.
I WON!!!
I was surprised at the reception Native American things got here. I even have 4 orders to fill making more. It certianly lifted my sagging spirits.
It's made from faux suede with white ribbons and gold threads and some beading on the ribbons. the transfer on the back is of white buffalos in the clouds with nesting eagles on the ground. I put that on the shirt because the eagle is my Spirit Guide. The white buffalo is a sign of peace and the eagle is a sign of strength.
I also got some dates to go to schools to do my storytelling of the ancient legends and Native American history.
I really needed this boost. Ain't it grand????
Take my heart and soul. But please don't step on it, it breaks easily.

Oh  Shylah, their so pretty!
I'm not surprised their so popular...how do I get one? Could you make a wolf one for me? 
If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day, so I never have to live without you.

Fabulous, Shylah! Getting the creative juices flowing is great to feel good, but even better when others recognize your talents!

Shylah, not only are you attractive but you are talented too! Congrats!
I try to take one day at a time -- but sometimes several days attack me at once.

Very nice, Shylah. Do you only sew for yourself or do you sell as well?

Thank you all so much for all your kind comments!
I sew most of the time. I have stuff all over the house I've made and the hubby says I should sell some of it. LOL
Wolfie...I most certainly can make you one with a wolf on it. I just need your measurments (i.e. bust size, length of arms, length from shoulder to however long you want it to be and length from shoulder to shoulder across the back) and what color you want.
Fanny, if I can, I make whatever anyone wants. When one of my daughters got married, I made all the bridesmaid dresses and the flower girl dress.
I went to the website of my tribe and got information on actual traditional Choctaw dresses and made one for myself. My uncle, who is a Namer and Elder, said it was one of the best he's seen...bless him...he loves me.
Take my heart and soul. But please don't step on it, it breaks easily.

Shylah, I will send you the measurements, and you can tell me what you charge for such beautiful shirts. Having a traditional ribbon shirt with my totem animal on it will be wonderful. 
If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day, so I never have to live without you.
