DIY Dressmaking with Emily ❤️
I feel like I’ve been waiting to post about this pattern for far too long! I was lucky enough to be one of the testers for the Stevie dress, one of the two new Tilly and the Buttons patterns that have been released this week. I’ve been sitting on it for about 3 months! The […]
There’s been a lot of gift giving in June at Self Assembly Required HQ! Today’s post is all about the Omer jacket – another make from the La Maison Victor magazine. I don’t know why I’m making all the menswear patterns from this magazine but it’s working out pretty well for me so far! 🤣 […]
A t-shirt seems like such a simple thing. But a perfectly fitted one? Now that’s a more elusive thing to find. I’ve realised recently that I’ve never really had a t-shirt that I’ve loved – that’s including both shop bought ones and hand made. There’s always something a little off, from being too tight or […]
Menswear. It tends to be a forgotten about part of dressmaking in my world.

The Perth Dress from Carolyn & Cassie (AKA @handmadebycarolyn) is the first womenswear sewing pattern release from this little indie company. I know, I know. Yet another shirt dress. But I felt this one was different enough to be worth trying out! The Perth dress has a dartless A line shape featuring a back yoke, […]
(A Minerva Crafts Blogger Network post) The Burnside Bibs have been in my pattern stash for well over 6 months. I loved the design, loved the samples, loved seeing other people’s versions of it but for some reason I couldn’t find the motivation to print it out! I am so glad I finally did though! […]
Another month of fun things has passed! May was yet another busy one for me, full of lovely sewing things and far too much fabric shopping. Get ready for another photo heavy post! In the news… We had the first London Stitchers meet up at the beginning of the month. Ana (of CocoWawa Crafts) and […]
(A Like Sew Amazing blog squad post) Now the Vogue 9075 is a pattern I’ve had in my stash for a while. I’ve made the dress version of it before, as well the culottes by themselves but I felt it was high time for me to make the full jumpsuit! (It’s funny cause I initially […]
