Excited to Make Your Own Regalia

But Not Sure Where to Begin? 
I'm Here to Help! 

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 you can watch from home.

You want to make your own Regalia so you can experience the joy of reclaiming your culture. But it can be overwhelming to know how and where to begin. I never want any of my students to feel alone in the process of making Regalia, so I created a series of videos that walk you step-by-step through each stage of designing, cutting and sewing your Regalia (and I am continually adding to the collection with new, helpful lessons!) 


With a monthly subscription, you can access a video library that help you learn as you go, and overcome any challenges you might face. For only $20/month, you can get all the guidance you need to start and finish your Regalia patterns!

Meet Your Teacher, Deanne Hupfield

Indigenous Arts Educator. Powwow Dance Teacher.
Cultural Competency Keynote Speaker. 

Every Indigenous person deserves to know and experience their culture so they can heal and pass it on to the next generation. Learning to make your own Regalia and dancing powwow connects you to your culture, yourself and others in our community. 


I’m Deanne Hupfield, a powwow dance teacher and Indigenous arts educator. I create Regalia 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 fashion started my healing journey. I want to share this healing experience with you too.

Helpful Videos
for Beginners and Experts

No matter your skill level, I've created my videos so that you can learn the basics and higher-level skills at your own pace. With a monthly membership, you can revisit demos and instructions as many times as you need. 

My most successful students have enjoyed the video lessons, because it's helped them face challenges and fix mistakes with clear advice, and confidence.

...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 sign into her webpage to 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!!

IT’S TIME TO COME HOME 

So many Indigenous people have lost access to our shared culture and traditions. By learning to make your own Regalia and powwow dance, you can reconnect to your culture.
You belong here.

This course is for you if:
- You are an Indigenous person looking to make their own Regalia 
- You are a survivor or descendant of survivors of I.R.S. and the 60’s Scoop 
- You are ready to reconnect with a culture that was taken from you 
- You recognize the wisdom and healing our culture holds 
- You’re looking for a group of like-minded Indigenous people who are on the same journey as you 
- You’re ready to feel strong, proud and beautiful in your custom made Jingle Dress
- You want to learn more about powwow culture but aren’t sure where to begin

Here's How It Works

I've made it really easy for you to get started no matter what level of experience you have with sewing. 

Select Your Pattern

I will mail you the pattern after you've ordered it. It should arrive within 2 weeks (or 4-6 weeks for international orders). 

Become a Member

I'll walk you through foundational sewing skills, how to use your sewing machine, and a practice session first. Then from there, we'll start designing your very own Regalia!
