• Ribbon shirt

  So as promised I am posting the shirt.

  .

  I must admit it isn’t a super traditional ribbon shirt but then again my husband isn’t a Native. I just picked colors that would looks good on him The print is small swirls of black on dark green.

  I know the tradition to making a ribbon shirt is to pray and fast a day for the person you are making it for, and then the next morning when you wake up the colors you see of the sun rising are the colors you use for a man’s regalia.

  My dad never owned one most all of his life even though he was full blooded. Dad wasn’t a dancer so he had no need for one he said. I made him one when he is living with us. He liked it very much. I was glad to do that for him.

  I want to make one for each of my sons the traditional way.

  I am posting this because I really liked the picture.

  

  Have a colorful rest of the weekend. I know I am going to because my nephews are coming here tomorrow for a week stay over spring break.

  I am so excited.
