Earlier this month we brought you the first outerwear pattern from Sofiona Designs (the Rose Hip Jacket), now we're we're ending the month by going in the opposite direction and bringing you the first Sofiona undergarment patterns. The Wild Blueberry and Wild Strawberry bralettes (also available bundled here) are a little different from the rest… Continue reading The Wildberries
A Sister for Clover
Clover is great for all seasons with the different sleeve lengths, but Rose Hip is better suited for that fall sewing and it's been such a treat to work on this first ever outerwear pattern for Sofiona.
Miss Aspen for the Junior Misses
When I got a message from one mom in particular who thanked me for a pattern that brought a smile to her teen’s face, I wanted to make this happen for more of these girls.
Miss Dandelion Got a Few Extra Perks

While I was preparing to put the Sturgeon Swimsuit into testing a couple months ago Sherri shared some cool inspiration pictures with me that she'd found online and really liked.

It’s Time for a Romper!!
The Aspen Add on is a romper or pantsuit pdf pattern that is compatible with the Tide and Dandelion bodices in the Sofiona Designs store. This is more about what the testers found during testing.
Introducing the Clover Crop Hoodie

I am such a slow designer. Then World Crazy hit our part of the world pretty… Continue reading Introducing the Clover Crop Hoodie
Keeping Track of Changing Sizes
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
