The $405.95 pack includes quilt top fabric, borders, binding, and patterns for both projects. If you only want one kit, simply indicate your choice on the cruise registration form. To receive the full Sail ‘n Sew pack, select both kits and it will be waiting for you onboard.
If you choose not to purchase a Sail ‘n Sew pack, please bring your own pre-cut fabrics and patterns, as fabric will not be available for purchase onboard.
