DIY Dressmaking with Emily ❤️
My #MakeNine2018 list was designed to be full of wardrobe basics this year so I wasn’t surprised that the Rowan body from Megan Nielsen made my list. I’d been dreaming of a black turtleneck to wear under, well, everything – it would be perfect tucked into skirts and under dresses as well as dungarees. The […]
A few weeks ago I was asked if I’d like to contribute a new project for Spoonflower. After having used their fabric last year (to make this dress), I jumped at the chance to use them again! After hours of browsing their gorgeous selection of prints, I ended up picking yet another astronomy themed print […]
Has anyone gotten their hands on the latest Tilly and the Buttons pattern yet? I pattern tested the Mila dungarees for Tilly late last year and can tell that this’ll be another hit for the indie pattern company! I think they planned this to be the natural follow on from their ever popular Cleo pinafore […]
It looks like I’m on a bit of an I AM Patterns kick at the moment! This time I’ve made the Cassiopée dress! I’ve seen the dress a few times on instagram recently and it’s been on my radar since I discovered I AM Patterns a little while ago. I was never 100% sure about […]
London’s Knitting and Stitching Show is coming up and I’ve got 5 pairs of tickets to give away! The Knitting and Stitching Show is being held at Olympia London from Thursday 1st to Sunday 4th March. That’s a whole weekend of crafting goodness! I went to this event last year with Rumana (from The Little […]
So I’m back again with a new make for the Minerva Crafts Blogger Network! I chose the Juliette blouse from I AM Patterns. It’s a simple boxy blouse with cute little collar, short sleeves and a button up back. It only uses a metre of fabric so it’s the perfect make for when you’ve got that little […]
OMG. I finished it! I started this cardigan last April and it’s taken me this long to finish it. I took advantage of my week off work over the Christmas period to get my head down and get knitting! This is the Wool and the Gang Vivienne cardigan which I bought as a kit (pattern […]
I’m a little late with this post but it’s a great one to be starting off the new year with! This is for the last #SewMyStyle project of 2017 where we could pick any pattern from the latest Earth Science collection from Named Clothing to be our last piece! I love Named Patterns so I […]
It’s that time of year where we all make unrealistic plans that we’ll try (and fail) to stick to as the year goes on! I’m starting out with a new #makenine list! This year I’ve opted to put lots of basics in my list to help me fill out that aspect of my wardrobe. It’s […]
