The newest release from Sofiona Designs is called the Fireweed. I started drafting this dress about 2 months before we launched as an official company so it's been on my mind for a long time! Winter came and the idea of a sleeveless dress for the cold months wasn't great so I put it on… Continue reading Fireweed Dress

Narwhal Swimsuit
Sherri questioned me a bit on the name for this Narwhal Swimsuit. In the end I think I just wore her down. (It kind of reminds me of how my husband and I "agreed" on a name for our youngest daughter, come to think of it.) If you're not already aware, Sofiona Designs names all… Continue reading Narwhal Swimsuit

It has been a bit busy the last few weeks! I mean, a LOT busy!! With 3 tests going at once (yes, there's another one coming!!) and all interconnected in one way or another (are you intrigued?), it's kept us on our toes. Finally we're seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and… Continue reading Dandelion Tank
The Cat’s Out of the Bag and We’re Calling It: Lynx
The newly released Lynx pattern is one that's been on my mind since long before Sofiona Designs became a reality. Almost a year ago I decided to have some fun sewing along with a season of Project Run & Play. 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
