INUVIK, NT. When Lena makes a parka, she spreads her fabric out on her kitchen table and cuts the pattern where there’s enough room to spread all the pieces out. It’s something she’s been doing since her eldest son was born. Back then, she was a newlywed who didn’t even know how to sew—fast forward a few decades, and she’s made so many parkas, “I can’t even keep count!” But every time she sees someone in her community wearing something she’s made, it’s that amazing same feeling she got the first time she sewed for her own child: “It makes me feel good. I don’t want anyone to be cold out there.”
