DIY Dressmaking with Emily ❤️
I started thinking about building a cohesive wardrobe a couple of weeks ago after finding a lot of the items I was sewing just didn’t seem to fit in with anything else in my wardrobe! So I set myself the challenge of defining my basic wardrobe style and setting a plan for a basic capsule […]
This month’s #sewmystyle has been a bit slow going for a lot of people. Me included! The project for March is the Virginia legging from Megan Nielsen. It’s a really basic pattern to make leggings either with a low waistband (suitable for maternity) or a natural waist. I finally got going on it thought after […]
I don’t just love sewing and making clothes. I love fashion, the design, the styling and all that goes with it. I am one of those people glued to the screens when the biannnual fashion weeks are on, watching for what’s next on my list to make! So when I came across Trend Patterns at […]
I am ridiculously un-greenfingered. I manage to kill off all my houseplants with alarming regularity and even killed off my tiny succulents which aren’t supposed to need much looking after!

Follow my blog with Bloglovin For my March Minerva Craft project I chose to do something completely different to what I normally make – ties! I made 2 different types of ties – a regular one and a bow tie – from a lovely monochrome dogtooth cotton sateen. Check out the post here to see […]
Obviously what every girl is missing from their wardrobe is a paisley jumpsuit… 😂 Probably not the case for most people but it kinda worked for me! I finally got round to using my Dominique jumpsuit pattern from République du Chiffon. I must’ve bought it well over 6 months ago! I loved the design but […]
Now I make and have a lot of clothes. You all know that! But I still find that I get up in the morning and can’t find anything to wear so I just end up wearing the same jeans and t-shirt over and over again! This is one of the biggest problems I have as […]
I recently bought a faux wrap grey knit bodysuit from Zara in the sales. Aaaand then I returned in the next day. Why? Because a) the fit wasn’t amazing and b) I could definitely make that myself. I already had the Nettie bodysuit pattern from Closet Case (you can see my first one here) and […]
