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. That's why we created the 'Polar Sweater/Dress' pattern - to make sure you look great and feel cozy no matter the weather! This versatile knit dress pattern is designed to work with mid-weight… Continue reading Polar Sweater/Dress
The Natural Canvas, Part 2
Have you been following the "Project Art Studio" blog tour so far??!?! Project Run & Play has brought together a group of makers and designers to curate a collection of patterns perfect for fall.

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.
The Pike 1 or 2pc Swimsuit
After taking a year off of swim design we're back this spring with TWO swim patterns. This blog post is all about the Pike and has quite a few tips and hacks you'll want to know about.
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.
The Heron Shirt
The Heron shirt is another super simple and remarkably quick make. People might need to start reconsidering labelling Sofiona as only "complicated" makes. LOL
The Miss Limestone Coat/Cardigan
We fell in love with the general shape of the Miss Limestone right from the start but went back and forth on whether it should be a coat or a cardigan. In the end we decided there HAD to be a way to make it work as either one. As a coat it works well… Continue reading The Miss Limestone Coat/Cardigan
Trail Joggers
For quite a while now we've had people ask us to please make a jogger in the Junior Miss size range (since we already have the Railway Joggers in our girls size range). The Trail Joggers were our answer to that request and we decided to make it in both the Junior Miss (size 0-20)… Continue reading Trail Joggers
