My Story / Press

My name is Marisol, I am a fashion designer and at 4’ 11” I know first hand how frustrating shopping can be. It's always a struggle to find clothes that fit our petite proportions. Lucky for me, I learned to sew from my mom and grandmothers so I was making my own clothes by the time I was a teenager.

After studying Clothing and Arts Design at a Vocational High School, I began to build my wardrobe with unique pieces that fit my petite proportions perfectly! After years of continuing to learn new skills and solving my own fitting issues, I realized that I wanted to help other women do the same.

That is why I started sharing sewing tips, tutorials, design process and behind the scenes videos on my YouTube channel. I also began offering items and one-of-a-kind pieces on my website for all of my non-sewing friends and soon I will have a sewing pattern collection available for all of my petite sewing friends!

If you have any questions or inquires, please feel free to email me directly at marisol@soneradesign.com or use the "Contact Me" form at the bottom of the page.
