Five Oceans Fabric Round 13 Part 2 - Sofiona Designs

 




I adventured to try a new pattern company from northern Canada.  Sofiona Designs specialized in girls and miss patterns.  I love their commitment to donate a portion of all their sales to A21. From their newsletter: 
A21 is a non-profit organization that exists to free people from slavery and educate others in efforts to disrupt the demand for modern day slaves around the world.  

I tried the Miss bonefire hoodie  which is designed with a relaxed fit and separate front panel piece.  The front panel piece comes in cup sizes (A-D).   Another interesting feature is the slight hi-lo hemline. 


Multiple options are available :

Hood or simple neckband

Solid sleeve cuffs or thumb hole

Optional front pocket


I made a few modifications, including reduce the length by 1.5 inch and the sleeve by the same amount.

A little bit about the fabric, I love the bamboo spandex French terry! It's light but not slippery and has a great body.  

The Mario Odyssey is a preorder available until 14 feb. The fabric details are 95% bamboo fiber 5% spandex with a 280-300gsm weight.

The beige is currently in stock ''Sew you wild oat'' bamboo/cotton French terry. The fabric details are 66% rayon from bamboo, 28% cotton and 6% spandex.  This one is Oeko Tex 100 certified. 

For all the gamers, below are the prints currently available for preorder.


Happy sewing,

Five Oceans Fabric Round 13 Part 1- Love Notions

 



I received some custom print from Five Oceans fabric latest preorder.  The theme for round 13 is Mario!  The Switch is quite busy in our family, making this round quite exiting!
   
  J'ai reçu un métre de la nouvelle prévente de Five Oceans fabric qui a pour thème Mario.  Les enfants adorent Luigi Mansion, nous avons toujours pas terminé le jeu par contre!

The fabric base is a Cotton Spandex French Terry (280-300 gsm, 95% cotton 5% spandex). The name of the print is Ghosties! Any fan of Lugi Mansion?  The colors of this print are amazing.  

    La base du tissu est en cotton français, mélange cotton et spandex.  Les couleurs de ce tissu sont magnifiques et vibrantes.

For this project I used the Love Notions Vanguard kit.  I did the pants a few times and decided to try the top.  It has a few fun options.

    Pour ce projet, j'ai utilié le patron de Love Notions - Vanguard.  J'avais fait le pantalon quelques fois mais jamais le chandail.  Le patron rencontrait toutes les demandes de mon grand! 



I modified the sleeve a little I used version B but connect the bottom two pieces.
No other modification, I used a straight size 10.

    J'ai modifié les manches quelque peu. J'ai fait un deux pièces au lien de 3. Autrement pas de modification à la gradeur 10.


Below is the details of R13, lots of fun prints.
