Keeping Track of Changing Sizes

April 6, 2020April 8, 2020 mamidesofiona1 Comment

These last few weeks while we have been dealing with what I like to call "World Crazy", I've been working on a big project. Which led me to a little project. I'll share the big project at the end of this for those that might like a peek into my workspace, but I really wanted… Continue reading Keeping Track of Changing Sizes

Tamarack Tights

A long time ago I had this idea for a pair of work-out style tights for Sofiona. But it took Trish suggesting that we work on a small activewear collection for the new year that forced me to focus attention on them properly. Of course, a year later a few other ideas have altered my original draft,

A No-Twist Elastic Waistline

January 21, 2020 mamidesofionaLeave a comment

Who here can NOT stand twisted elastic bands?? I see all the hands up. I'm with you. It's ridiculous and annoying and too often becomes a piece of clothing that doesn't get worn. We want clothing that we can be comfy in and don't need to adjust every so often.

The Bag With a Mission

I’m so excited to introduce the Balsam Bag from Sofiona Designs! This pattern has been a true labor of love, and has taken months of work from many minds and several hands to be brought into existence.

Welcome to the fastest Sofiona sew thus far!! We are starting to be known as "clean, but not quick" and I'm totally good with that! But I also know that people want a quick make and it's been a regular conversation around Sofiona headquarters that we need to keep the quick sews in mind.

The Tide Is In

October 25, 2019December 30, 2019 mamidesofiona1 Comment

Tide is a halter-style knit dress or peplum with the feel of a pair of overalls with the straps coming over the shoulders and through the loops. It's fairly simple, but with just enough detail to make it something that I can really say is "me". My style. And I hope you love it too.

With the 3 possible locations for the flounces (or not), this is where you can make some choices that suit your style. I, personally, love the way I can make matching dresses without fully matching by choosing only certain flounces or using trim instead.

The Moss Maxi

May 3, 2019December 30, 2019 mamidesofiona1 Comment

Moss is a knit pattern with the back cowl hood and thin ties being the excitement in the back and cool, angular side panels that add interest in the front. The optional pockets mimic the lines on the side panels. This pattern includes top, knee and maxi lengths and I love each length for different reasons.

I was gifted these awesome monstera cuttings. Now I’m wondering how long I should expect to wait for roots to peek out. Anyone familiar with these? #propagatingmonstera #plantpropagation
These mini wildflowers are so beautiful and they are up for preorder by @prairieloveknits again. Since they’re just that good. There are 2 new colour ways as well which is exciting. I’m thinking about a maxi dress and this just might be the fabric for it. #plkpreorder #sofimissromper #sewalltheflowers
Another @seeyouatsixfabric make using these pretty diagonal stripes in FT. I was intrigued with the idea of a sleeveless #soficaribou and then had some fun with a different hem. Of course, matching cuffing always makes me happy and I used some around the arms. #sofionadesigns
My first time using @seeyouatsixfabric and I made up a set using FT from the new spring line. I wanted to try a cropped pair of Railway joggers and they turned out so well. I love this length. I shortened the leg and the cuff and then I brought the leg width in a size from the crotch point down. We hear a LOT of “I want Railway in my size” and today I join that chorus. 😆 #sofirailway #seeyouatsixfabrics #cropjogger #motojoggers

Chicago….something something windy….

Is that really the title of this post?  Yes.  Yes it is.  I put that down, assuming something more cleaver would come to me by the time I was done.  And yet, here we are…. TRISH: We were now really ‘booking it’ to head west again.  Chicago was the last stop we had specific plans […]
