DIY Dressmaking with Emily ❤️
I’ve got some more autumnal sewing to share with you guys today! The wedding sewing has been going pretty well so far so I “treated” myself to a little selfish sewing and whipped up a little dress! I had a good idea in my head as to what I wanted to make – something with […]
Does anyone else feel like summer passed way too fast this year? I feel like I’m putting away my summer wardrobe with so many pieces that have gone unworn! On the plus side, it’s now time to look to planning our Autumn/ Winter wardrobes! I’ve been eyeing up loads of midi and maxi dresses at […]
I feel like I’ve been embracing my inner child with some of my makes of late! I just love everything in fun colours and loose shapes – exactly what you put your toddler in! 🤣 My latest make is a mash up/ hack of a couple of my fave dresses of late – the Mira […]
This is the ultimate frankenpattern! I’ve mashed up that Gertie for Butterick pattern (the one everybody made a few years ago – check out mine here) with a hack of the Cali Faye Dress 47 that I tested last year. So this is kind of a hack of a hack… (It did get me thinking […]
I can’t resist a dungaree pattern! When Hello Workshop asked if I’d like to try out a pattern I was actually planning to say no – I’m kinda busy at the mo and wasn’t planning on taking on any more projects – but when I flicked through their collection and saw the Hayley dungarees I […]

I’ve been planning to try out some bag making for a while – mostly after coming across some awesome textiles that I wanted to experiment with – but I never quite got the momentum going. I have finally gotten round to it though! I wanted to start with something simple for my first project so […]
I was recently sent a copy of the first Wool and the Gang book called Raffia Crochet. Unsurprisingly it’s full of raffia crochet projects! If you’ve seen any of their stuff before, you’ll know just how stylish their stuff is. Maybe it’s all branding and great photography but I’m always a sucker for their kits! […]
Ever wanted to make your own raincoat but felt a bit intimidated by the patterns on offer? Then the Eden is for you! This is the latest pattern release from Tilly and the Buttons – a classic anorak style jacket with raglan sleeves that comes in two lengths and with optional storm flaps. You can […]
This dress has been probably close to 3 months in the making! I initially planned it to be my entry for the Little Red Dress challenge in December but never got around to finishing it. I then planned to have it done in time for Chinese New Year (cause red is always lucky!) but was […]
