    This is one of the best fitting patterns I’ve ever made. My kids love to wear it and it was a very easy sew. I’m sure i will make a lot more in the future.

    My daughter love so much,I like too because very easy to sew.

Cape Breton is a large island making up the eastern end of the Canadian province of Nova Scotia, and is part of the traditional territories of the Mi’kmaq.  It is a land of exceptional beauty in the rugged shoreline and towering green hills.  It is also a place of rich Indigenous, Gaelic, and Acadian heritage. 

 

Today, quaint fishing villages dot the coastline which can be explored by traveling the Cabot Trail, a scenic highway that hugs the coastline while looping around a significant part of the island.  Toward the interior of the island are highlands that feature steep cliffs and deep river canyons. ​ Cape Breton Highlands, on the northern tip of the island, was the first National Park designated in Atlantic Canada.
