DIY Dressmaking with Emily ❤️
I caved. I had absolutely no intention of making this dress. Then I had all the #monetaparty tags flooding my Instagram and I couldn’t resist it any longer! I got the PDF pattern on a late night whim. You really shouldn’t mix late nights with Instagram and your credit card by the way. It definitely […]
I’ve made wrap dresses before. I’ve always self drafted them and I’ve always been really disappointed with them. Actually I tried on a DvF one once and I was disappointed with that too for that matter, so it may not be my drafting skills that was the problem there. That being said I love how elegant […]
How is everyone getting on with month 2 of Project #sewmystyle? I know there were quite a few people who weren’t keen on this pattern so I’ve finished my Saunio cardigan early to see what all the fuss was about. I have to say I’m in love with my one! So I read a few […]
I know most of us sewists don’t necessarily get into sewing to keep up with fashion trends. It tend to be more of a “I want regular clothes that suit my tastes and fit really well” rather than trying to be at the cutting edge of fashion and trends. For me it’s a little bit […]

The first version I made of this dress was in a lush olive green for the Minerva Crafts Blogger Network. I really like the shape of the dress. It was cute and flattering and really reminded of this image I came across a while back – (I always end up taking screenshots of random outfits […]
I made some monthly sewing plan printables! One of my sisters kindly made all the little illustrations for me (thanks!) so I could put these together. I had planned to be organised and make them up for January but life got in the way (as usual…). But no matter, they’re here now and I wanted […]
This is the latest offering from Tilly and the Buttons – the Zadie dress! (This was sent to me for free to try out in advance by the way. Thanks Tilly! ☺️) The Zadie is an empire waisted dress designed for knits with multiple options for sleeves. It has a separate side panel feature that allows […]
I am! This month we are sewing the Saunio cardigan from Named Clothing. Not gonna lie, this is another pattern that isn’t really my cup of tea. (I think it doesn’t help that the girl wearing it in the sample photos doesn’t look very happy to be doing so…). But saying that, I have real […]
