The newest release from Sofiona Designs is called the Fireweed. I started drafting this dress about 2 months before we launched as an official company so it's been on my mind for a long time! Winter came and the idea of a sleeveless dress for the cold months wasn't great so I put it on… Continue reading Fireweed Dress
Narwhal Swimsuit
Sherri questioned me a bit on the name for this Narwhal Swimsuit. In the end I think I just wore her down. (It kind of reminds me of how my husband and I "agreed" on a name for our youngest daughter, come to think of it.) If you're not already aware, Sofiona Designs names all… Continue reading Narwhal Swimsuit

We have a bit of a "thing" about saggy bum tights and really wanted to be able to offer a product that didn't do that! Other higher priority patterns came along,… Continue reading Rocky Shore Tights
Dandelion Tank
It has been a bit busy the last few weeks! I mean, a LOT busy!! With 3 tests going at once (yes, there's another one coming!!) and all interconnected in one way or another (are you intrigued?), it's kept us on our toes. Finally we're seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and… Continue reading Dandelion Tank
