The Art of Inuit Sewing: Amautiit, Parkas, and Modern Clothing
Sewing has sustained Inuit since time immemorial. From women hunched over their seal and caribou skins cutting, designing and sewing their clothing with sinew and bone needles to women hunched over modern sewing machines stitching modern materials into timeless clothing designs—such as amautiit (Inuit women’s baby carriers) and japait (winter parkas)—wearable art is the norm for Inuit sewers. Now, women in Arviat, NU, (and all across Inuit Nunangat) are transitioning again, moving to make and sell pieces on online platforms such as Facebook.
