Mink Shorts
Is it summer yet? I see all the signs that it's coming here. The sun rises earlier and brighter, there's the sound of running water as the snow piles visibly shrink by the day, the arctic bunnies are turning brown again, and we have a new summer-y pattern for you! It's not a new swimsuit… Continue reading Mink Shorts
The Miss Fern Tiered Skirt
During this round of testing the Miss Fern skirt, we really learned a lot about how much the fabric dictates the fit of this waistband. I'm going to point out the big areas of consideration and I have some general tips including a gathering video down below. Let's get into this.
Polar Sweater/Dress
Living where it snows eight months of the year means that warmth, comfort and style are often on our mind when designing.

The Natural Canvas Part 1
This collection is all about art and how we see art in the world. You KNOW with Sofiona that we take our cues from northern Canadian nature and so "The Natural Canvas" was a clear winner when we sat down to think about our take on this theme.

Minnow Swimsuit
It's swimsuit season! (Or so I've heard.....we DID just get another dumping of snow earlier this week.)

You can read more about the Pike Swimsuit on… Continue reading Minnow Swimsuit
The Sandfly Sheet Protector
This pattern is personal to me and is motivated by the desire to give my growing girls the comfort and protection they need as they navigate into womanhood. Some girls are super excited and just can't wait for their period and others dread or even fear this new stage. The last thing they want is embarrassing stains on their sheets or mattress. Old towels are doable, but suddenly I wanted something that felt a little more special.
