DIY Dressmaking with Emily ❤️
I sometimes feel like I’m Fibre Mood‘s biggest fan – I keep going back to their patterns over and over and I’m always finding new ones to fall in love with! If you don’t know who they are yet, they’re a Belgian sewing magazine that comes out quarterly. They’ve got impeccable style and are always […]
I’ve got some more autumnal sewing to share with you guys today! The wedding sewing has been going pretty well so far so I “treated” myself to a little selfish sewing and whipped up a little dress! I had a good idea in my head as to what I wanted to make – something with […]
Does anyone else feel like summer passed way too fast this year? I feel like I’m putting away my summer wardrobe with so many pieces that have gone unworn! On the plus side, it’s now time to look to planning our Autumn/ Winter wardrobes! I’ve been eyeing up loads of midi and maxi dresses at […]
This’ll probably my last summery make of the year! I’d been meaning to make the Rae pants from the Named Clothing book Breaking the Pattern for a few months. (Check out my YouTube run through of the book here!). I thought they’d make a great summer staple as a swishy breezy casual trouser. It took […]
A couple of months ago I ended up on Ichiroya – a website selling vintage kimono fabric. It was a long dark rabbit hole of beautiful things and I left with two rolls of silk fabric! It took a few weeks to arrive and even with the cost of customs on top, I thought the […]
I’ve always loved a camisole – they’re so cute and delicate and really rather practical when you’re layering up! I’ve made a couple over the years (though one of my faves is still an old Forever 21 one!) some with great success and others, well, not so great. Mostly I think it’s to do with […]
I feel like I’ve been embracing my inner child with some of my makes of late! I just love everything in fun colours and loose shapes – exactly what you put your toddler in! 🤣 My latest make is a mash up/ hack of a couple of my fave dresses of late – the Mira […]
This is the ultimate frankenpattern! I’ve mashed up that Gertie for Butterick pattern (the one everybody made a few years ago – check out mine here) with a hack of the Cali Faye Dress 47 that I tested last year. So this is kind of a hack of a hack… (It did get me thinking […]
I’ve got more bag making to show you today! I was sent the Myla bag kit from One Stitch is Never Enough a few weeks ago just after my first foray into using cork fabric (check it out here). I loved that someone was championing the use of this unique material. I was super curious […]
I’m back on the bag making! My attempts took a bit of a nose dive after a failed attempt with some washable paper but I thought I’d try again with a more foolproof project! This time I wanted to try the rope bag trend. I’ve seen some beautiful ones of Instagram and Pinterest and I’m […]
