Oh man, it's been such a great break since the holidays!! I've been happily avoiding certain self-inflicted "responsibilities" which involve social media and more and more I dream of a life where we don't need that stuff, you know what I mean? But before I turn this into a deeply emotional post about my thoughts on life in 2022.... I DID also draft a new pattern!!! Well, it's kinda like I drafted…
No, I'm not talking about a Toyota here (even though my husband and I have been stalking the new 2022 Tundra release - I'm liking the blue colour.) Our Tundra pattern has been a favourite for many people and I can list off a few closets that I know are full of them.

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).

But as we are coming close to 10,000 members in our Sofiona Sewing Group on Facebook, we did feel like doing something special.
Now, we have quite a few special things planned for the next few months as we make our way t…
Small secret. When I released Tundra I kinda brushed it off as a "meh" pattern that a few people might like. I had no idea it was going to be so well loved! So I decided to go ahead and make a Miss Tundra and this pattern is so addicting!! I've made many already and have no plans to stop. That's a phrase I read a lot on FB - "I'm going to make a million!" - and maybe people really do, but THIS is…
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".
