Sofia is a set of 4 patterns inspired by baby bath time and diaper changing: a portable changing mat, a hooded towel, a washcloth and an organizer (or nappy caddy). Ear options are available for the bath cape and washcloth. The portable organizer has removable dividers for storing diapers, hygiene products, clothes, toys, etc. The changing mat has pockets and a detachable towel for easy washing. The finishes are meticulous (French and bound seams) for a refined result.
Practical, thoughtfully designed patterns to make everyday life easier with baby.
