This month, we are traveling to the biggest island in the world! Located in one of the most frigid parts of the planet, come along with us as we admire all of the natural beauty this arctic wonderland has to offer: welcome to Greenland!
As we discover this historical and awe-inspiring country, we are reminded of just how unique this part of the world is. With towering glaciers, and the alluring Northern Lights that dance in the sky, we had to pair Cotton + Steel's Cosmic Sea Collection with the simplistic Shaw backpack pattern! We were also inspired to use our very own Brush Strokes Cork Fabric that pairs very nicely with the metallic whale and narwhal fabrics, reminding us of the gleaming Aurora Borealis.
Now through the end of June, get all of the Greenland-inspired Bag Kits & fabrics at a discounted price when you use the code: “TRAVEL” at checkout.* Happy sewing!
