Used 1 yard of fabric for each dress.<br />Took me about an hour for each dress after the first one. I made me one but I used 1 ½ yards of fabric. I made matching belts to just tie on. So the dress hangs on very loose without the belt, kinda one size fits all.<br />Step One: Cut 1 yard of fabric. Cut on the fold.<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_f1vx8a8EMU0/SrjNIUHl2-I/AAAAAAAAAxM/TFgwTB-fnIk/s1600-h/Kaya+Dress+Marks.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 285px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384278897244625890" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_f1vx8a8EMU0/SrjNIUHl2-I/AAAAAAAAAxM/TFgwTB-fnIk/s320/Kaya+Dress+Marks.JPG" /></a>Step Two: Marked the cut/sew lines in chalk. See photo.<br />At top, measured fabric in half and 6” down for the neck whole (A).<br />From A mark measured 5” to both sides for neck width (B).<br />Optional: I made a zigzag stick v shape in front of dress for decoration….matched the dress, did not want it to look to fakey. I measured 6” in from out side edges (D) and 12” down from middle (C). The connected the marks into a V.<br />Mark 12” down on both sides (E) and 6” in to form the arm holes (F).<br />Mark 6” up from bottom (G) and connect this with the arm hole mark, to make side seams.<br />Step Three: Cut out neck hole and up the sides.<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_f1vx8a8EMU0/SrkD9XOHbiI/AAAAAAAAAx8/x2kDf4g_pTA/s1600-h/DSCN1636.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 288px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384339182238264866" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_f1vx8a8EMU0/SrkD9XOHbiI/AAAAAAAAAx8/x2kDf4g_pTA/s320/DSCN1636.JPG" /></a><br /><div><div><div><div><div>Step Four: Optional zigzag stitch on front of dress to form a V.<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_f1vx8a8EMU0/SrkTSWDHswI/AAAAAAAAAyE/5BJvLhvlqPQ/s1600-h/DSCN1637.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 240px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384356035375379202" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_f1vx8a8EMU0/SrkTSWDHswI/AAAAAAAAAyE/5BJvLhvlqPQ/s320/DSCN1637.JPG" /></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_f1vx8a8EMU0/SrkBZouxfcI/AAAAAAAAAx0/E5KwV6fyIAQ/s1600-h/DSCN1640.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 293px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384336369440095682" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_f1vx8a8EMU0/SrkBZouxfcI/AAAAAAAAAx0/E5KwV6fyIAQ/s320/DSCN1640.JPG" /></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_f1vx8a8EMU0/Srkls046TGI/AAAAAAAAAyM/NBlPWppZi8k/s1600-h/DSCN1643.JPG"></a></div><div>Step Five: Pin right sides together. Sew up the shoulder seams. Fold the back side of the neck to form a clean edge/hem.<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_f1vx8a8EMU0/Srkls046TGI/AAAAAAAAAyM/NBlPWppZi8k/s1600-h/DSCN1643.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 190px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384376281539955810" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_f1vx8a8EMU0/Srkls046TGI/AAAAAAAAAyM/NBlPWppZi8k/s320/DSCN1643.JPG" /></a><br />Sew up the sides. I started about 1” on the arm and then went around and down the sides of the dress.

She's happiest when she's riding her beloved horse Steps High, playing with her tiny pup Tatlo, or sharing stories with her blind sister as they work. Kaya dreams of becoming a courageous leader for her people who is ready to meet whatever the future brings. She draws strength from her family, the legends her elders tell, and the bold warrior woman who is her hero. "Kaya" is short for the Nez Perce name Kaya' aton' my which translates as "she who arranges rocks."<br /><div></div><br /><div>September is Kaya's month.</div><div>I plan to have two classes for the month. Having six girls to independently read Meet Kaya and Kaya's Escape. Then we plan to refer to the books while studying Kaya's world by using hands on history, books and various crafts.</div><div>Should be fun! </div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4815451554054634681.post-78984412081467251142009-09-07T19:32:00.000-07:002009-09-07T20:26:41.605-07:00Kaya Class--Day One<strong>Day One Schedule</strong><br /><div><br /><strong>Welcome Girls</strong></div><div>Housekeeping<br />Outline of the two classes<br />Notebook pages (keepsake)<br />Kaya book discussion</div><br /><div><strong>Kaya’s World</strong> (page 1) 1764<br />They are the Numiipuu/Nez Perce tribe (Who’s Kaya {LB}, “pierced nose”)<br />Make a talking stick<br />Kaya Live {LB}?
