DIY Dressmaking with Emily ❤️
I’ve found that there’s not much help/ info around about getting these metal snaps into place after struggling for a while on Google. I figured it out in the end so I wanted to share! (Sharing is caring after all!) I got my metal snaps on eBay and whilst a lot of them come with […]
This is the accompaniment book from the third series of The Great British Sewing Bee written by Claire-Louise Hardie (who I met briefly at my failed Great British Sewing Bee audition attempt). I don’t normally buy these books but actually found quite a few projects I like from it so I figured why not! Plus […]
I’m that person that makes a mistake whilst sewing, gets really frustrated with it, then hides that project in a bin bag in the darkest corner of her sewing room never to see the light of day again… Well that was me until more recently anyway. When I started out sewing I really made a […]
The joys of having sisters include having to make things for three people instead of one… Perhaps a little annoying but I did actually offer with these jackets so no one to blame but myself! That being said I’m now officially an expert at putting the Wear Lemonade Rosa bomber jacket together and can do […]
I’m not someone who gets to wear nice dress or even a suit to work! I literally rock up in jeans and a t-shirt because I wear scrubs over the top of whatever I wear. Having a good stock of long and short sleeve tees is so important because these need to be washed ridiculously […]
I really wanted to get one of those 70s styled A-line denim mini or midi skirts that’s been in all the stores for the past year but I was totally insistent that I’ld make my own! Well I finally got round to buying the fabric for it and what did I do? Make a totally […]
My Rosa bomber jacket got picked as a finalist in the New to Me contest on The Monthly Stitch! The contest was to make something from an indie pattern company that they’d never seen from before. (There’s still 3 more contests to go if anyone else fancies joining in the fun!) I’m so pleased and […]
If there’s only one place you have time to go to for fabric shopping in London, this is it. On sheer numbers of shops this wins out! I went there a few weeks ago with my sisters and bought quite a few bits for some new projects (you might’ve seen them in my Instagram feed […]
My first jacket and most ambitious project to date! This is (finally) my Rosa jacket from Wear Lemonade which I’ve been going on about for what feels like forever but is in reality just a few weeks… It’s a fully lined bomber jacket with in seam pockets and metal popper buttons. I added my own […]
Here’s another pattern from Named! It’s my favourite pattern of theirs due to its sheer ingenuity. It’s a gorgeous wrap dress destined to make everyone look amazing! Again I’ve got the same gripe with Named patterns in that their paper patterns don’t include seam allowance and this one doesn’t even come as one piece […]
