DIY Dressmaking with Emily ❤️
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 […]
So I’ve been sitting on this pattern for a little while now as I helped to test it a few months ago! The latest pattern release from Sew House Seven is the epitome of a summer basic. It’s a simple jersey pattern for a sleeveless tank top, mini dress and maxi dress with a slight […]
When does a jumpsuit become a dungaree and vice versa? 🤣. An important (not really) distinction to make as I think I made this Closet Case jumpsuit pattern into what would be considered a dungaree! Maybe… Well that confusion aside, here’s a new outfit I’ve made! I took the Amy jumpsuit from Closet Case Patterns […]
This’ll be my last Minerva Crafts post for a while whilst I knuckle down and actually get started on my little sister’s wedding dress. Following in from my previous two makes for them (here and here), I’m carrying on the wrap dress theme! This time I made the Deer and Doe Magnolia dress which has […]
I was recently lucky enough to test the re-released Olive Jumpsuit from Untitled Thoughts – I’m always a sucker for a jumpsuit and leapt at the chance to try it out! The jumpsuit comes with two full length trouser shapes – wide and tapered as well as a shorts version. The camisole top half has […]
I can’t resist a dungaree pattern! When Hello Workshop asked if I’d like to try out a pattern I was actually planning to say no – I’m kinda busy at the mo and wasn’t planning on taking on any more projects – but when I flicked through their collection and saw the Hayley dungarees I […]
I’m so excited to share my first New Craft House Fabric Ambassador make with you guys! [FYI I picked the project and fabric myself but was sent the fabric for free. All my opinions are free of charge… 🤣] I’d been pondering making the Simplicity 1319 jacket for a while after snapping it up on […]
