The Cranberry Dress

November 19, 2020November 22, 2020 Trish Yanke1 Comment

I love holiday dresses. There's just something exciting about making something fancy and perhaps a little over the top...even if it's not totally practical. For a couple years now I've wanted to design a dress that would work for everyday, but also have the look and feel of something that could be "glammed up". Since… Continue reading The Cranberry Dress

Picking Raspberry

June 17, 2020June 20, 2020 Trish YankeLeave a comment

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. I immediately asked (begged?) her to run with the ideas and turn them into a swim cover-up. At the same time she was neck-deep in… Continue reading Picking Raspberry

The Cattail Tank/Dress

February 26, 2020February 26, 2020 Trish YankeLeave a comment

Cattail was first drafted as a tank top to pair with the Tamarack Tights that Sherri had been planning since before Sofiona Designs first launched. As we got close to being ready to post our tester calls Sherri looked at the tank and said "I think this should be a (maxi) dress too". She was… Continue reading The Cattail Tank/Dress

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.

New Beginnings

November 9, 2018 mamidesofiona2 Comments

What a LONG time coming this particular blog post has been!!! I expected to have this out and written probably 6 months ago (or more) and yet, things take time and I needed to practice patience. Always. I always need to practice patience since I'm, admittedly, not great at it. It has been a full… Continue reading New Beginnings

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….

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 […]
