DIY Dressmaking with Emily ❤️
It’s been a while since my last post! I’ve been feeling alarmingly uninspired to blog of late – it’s very unlike me! I’ve still been sewing and making (slowly) though! Today’s post is one I actually made a few weeks back. It’s the Winslow Culottes from Helen’s Closet! If I’m being honest, I’ve never been […]
AD| gifted kit to test with no obligation to post This week I made something I never really thought I’d make – clogs! I’m talking wooden based sandals here not an entire wooden show by the way. I’ve always admired other people’s clogs – those Swedish Hasbeens and Lottas and my clogging (😂) up my […]
In case you missed it, there was a recent collaboration between designer Simone Rocha and H&M a couple of months ago. It was a collection full of ruffled, sheer and bejewelled pieces and I loved it all! Ok, I loved just a few pieces – some were just a bit too weird even for me! […]
So good I made it twice… Anyone else seem to feel like they see the same trends over and over until that’s all you can think of making? Maybe it’s the cookies (computer ones not 🍪) that means as soon as I show an interest in anything, i suddenly end up seeing them everywhere! You […]
The Nina Lee Park Lane dress has been around for a fair while already. I’d never quite felt that need to get it – it seemed too similar patterns and styles I already had! – but in their birthday sale a few weeks ago, I decided to get it! And I’m super glad I did! […]
AD – I was gifted the pattern and fabric from Deer and Doe and Minerva respectively, in exchange for an honest review! I’ll be honest, I normally steer clear of vintage styles – and the new Orchidée pattern from Deer and Doe definitely lands in that category in my books – it’s never really been […]
AD – gifted fabric I was very kindly asked to be one of the brand ambassadors for The New Craft House recently – a role where I could pick out a fabric of my choice in exchange to make a garment in exchange for some photos! I leapt at the chance as The New Craft […]
I’ve not been doing much sewing/ knitting/ crafting the last week or so as I’ve been stuck in some rather big diy projects in my flat! The good news is that they’re just about done. The bad is that blogging has taken a bit of a backseat! I shouldn’t be too hard in myself except […]
Did I ever think I could make boots from my living room floor? Not in a million years! But guess what? It happened! (Makes me think I could win the lottery with thinking like this… 😂) I’ve made shoes with I Can Make Shoes before – I was lucky enough to be gifted a high […]
I recently signed up to an online boot making class and whilst watching all the boot making videos I realised there was one thing I needed before I got started – an apron! Now I probably could’ve just bought one for a few pounds but I’m a maker at heart and that means if there’s […]
