DIY Dressmaking with Emily ❤️
Ah. Frilled collars. Has anyone else been obsessed with them since this trend has emerged? (I recommend following @dominique.major on Instagram for the best collar inspo in her stories!). Big exaggerated collar with added frill details are everywhere at the mo and I just resist jumping on that bandwagon. I thought the easiest way to […]
Sewing has been a bit of a non starter for me recently. I had all these wonderful plans and ideas but I think something to do with the change of the season combined with feeling a bit overwhelmed with what I wanted to do meant I just kind of stalled. I needed a project to […]
I finally faced my sock knitting fears! I looked those strange heel flaps and gussets in the eye and said you’ll not stop me from living my sock knitting dreams! Ok, that might be a bit of an overstatement but I definitely felt it on the inside! Socks have always been one of those things […]
It’s been a little while since my last post – I’ve been in a bit of a sewing/ blogging slump! I’m going to try to push myself out of that and share a (not so recent) make with you today! Since lockdown started I’ve been knitting up an absolute storm – I’ve been finding it […]
I managed to sneak in one last proper summer make before the weather changed! I kept seeing a certain style of Ganni dress pop up on my Instagram (where other gorgeous gals were wearing it) and on some targeted ads (I must be right in their sales demographic!). It must be pretty popular because they […]
I was gifted a piece of fabric from the latest Fabric Godmother print drop back in July/ August time and I’ve only just gotten time to use it! How is time passing so quickly??? U.K. based independent fabric shop, Fabric Godmother has been dipping their toes into the world of fabric production and has created […]
Oops! I meant to post this on Wednesday! My blogging has become alarmingly erratic lately! Another sign the world is a very different place to what it used to be… 😂 Today’s post is the second of the DP’s patterns I picked up earlier this year – Le 5005 blouse. It’s one of the simplified […]
I’ve just gotten round to my last two summer makes being added to the blog! I finally worked through my lockdown backlog! I bought a couple of DP’s patterns back in February this year when the brand had their closing down sale. (There’s still a few items on there if anyone’s interested!). DP’s was a […]
Summer may be over but I’ve still got my last few hot weather makes to share! (My own fault for being rather lax about blogging last month!). I was gifted an amazing piece of cotton jersey from By Graziela Fabrics. Run by mum-and-daughter team, Graziela and Nina have recently launched their fabric range in the […]
Do you ever look at an outfit and think to yourself “I can totally make that!”? It happens to me rather often especially when I go out of my way to do some (online) window shopping! In the middle of lockdown I took to Net A Porter for some sewing inspiration and came across this […]
