This is pretty momentous! We're almost exactly one year from the official opening ceremonies of Sofiona Designs and one of our first patterns was the Arctic Fox Housecoat.

The Bag With a Mission
I'd like to introduce someone to you for this blog post. I "met" Bridget the season that I competed on Project Run and Play. I don't know if she voted for me each week (and I won't ask) but she encouraged and supported me with words along the way. When I decided to start Sofiona… Continue reading The Bag With a Mission
Introducing the Bonfire Hoodie Pattern
Who doesn't love a nice cozy sweater? With this in mind and in keeping with the Sofiona style of fun angles and details, I set out to design one.

This is the (self drafted) outfit I submitted for "Signature Style" week (see anything familiar???):… Continue reading The Cat’s Out of the Bag and We’re Calling It: Lynx
Raven Meet Rhubarb
If you've seen the Raven dress, you'll recognize the Rhubarb. Or vice versa??? Long ago now, when I first started dreaming this pattern up, it was this knit sweater dress style that was first in my mind. Then things just kept going, I thought about woven versions and the Raven was born and released first.… Continue reading Raven Meet Rhubarb
