We’re back with another Pattern Remix Challenge! For this round, we are featuring Sofiona Designs. Sherri was our Season 14 winner and went on to create her own sewing pattern company specializing in trendy PDF sewing patterns for girls and women. She suggested the Rose Hip Jacket for Pattern Remix and we agreed! It’s already a great pattern, but has so much potential for mixing things up!
Again, we’ve got two past designers going head to head in a friendly competition with their own take on Rose Hip and YOU get to help us choose a just-for-fun winner!

Aviator Chic Jacket by Liz of @lizvdesigner
When I first heard about the Remix Challenge, I spent a long time thinking about how I could remix a jacket without letting it completely look like one! It was definitely a real challenge for me. I looked through many ideas, but none matched what I was starting to picture in my mind. Honestly, while cutting the fabric pieces, the design began to come together naturally. I envisioned small but cozy changes while keeping the original base of the jacket.
Here are the changes I made:
•Neck band: I doubled its width to give it a neck warmer look — taller, cozier, and perfect for colder weather.
•Front closure: instead of the zipper, I added 1 1/5 inch (about 3 cm) to the bodice to create a placket and add buttons.
•Proportions: I also added 1 1/5 inch to the neck band and hem band length so they would match perfectly with the new placket.
•Pockets: I used the same size as the original sleeve pockets from the pattern, but placed them on the front and added a flap to create cargo-style pockets.
•The structure also allows it to be worn as a reversible jacket, giving it two stylish looks in one.
The final result feels like a blend between a vintage aviator-style jacket and a soft sherpa coat. It keeps the soul of the original pattern but with a cozier, more functional, and fashion-forward twist.
Sweet Dreams & Starry Skies by Angel @handcraftedbyrinaangela
For my Remix Challenge entry, featuring the Rose Hip pattern from Sofiona Designs.
I modified the original sleeves and turned them into bishop sleeves to give it that dreamy, puffy look, and shortened the cuffs for a softer finish.
The pattern offers different versions, but I chose the cropped style since it perfectly fits my little fashionista’s vibe.
To complete the look, I drafted a cropped sleeveless turtleneck for that Rumi of Huntrix vibe, and the skirt is store-bought.
Now it’s giving total sweet dreams and starry skies vibes, playful, comfy, and full of personality.
Amazing! We know it’s almost impossible to compare such different styles, but this is all just for fun, so please help us choose a winner in the poll below!
