DIY Dressmaking with Emily ❤️
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 […]
I’m on a streak of I AM coat patterns it seems! Following on from my successful I AM Jacques raincoat that I made last autumn, I decided to try another I AM coat pattern – the Merlin coat! The Merlin is from I AM Patterns last pattern collection. It’s a cocoon shaped jacket with notched […]
After making the collar to fit my Bertie dress, I wanted to make something even more versatile that could achieve a similar look. That’s where this necklace style of bib collar came in! I essentially wanted to make a completely separate accessory that I could layer over any dress or jumper to get the Big […]
Big. Collar. Energy. That’s what it’s all about right now! I’ve been constantly seeing different versions of the same trend for the past year and it doesn’t seem to be going away anytime soon! That being said, it probably will at some point and in the spirit of making my clothes last as long as […]
I treated myself to a year’s unlimited Seamwork subscription late last year whilst they had a half price discount going on. For $90USD it seemed good value for the amount of patterns you’d get access to and, of course, all the new ones that would get released in the year. I’ll be honest, I don’t […]
