DIY Dressmaking with Emily ❤️
It’s my turn on the Simplicity X The Eve Appeal blog tour! This annual challenge has had another makeover this year and it’s all about pattern hacking! The Hack-Along involves taking one of nine Simplicity patterns and doing your thing with it! There are three categories for your finished garment – Day, Party and Unique […]
The Megan Nielsen Dawn jeans have been on my radar for a little while. I’d been looking for some high waist “mom” jeans for non stretch denim and had been deciding between these and the Anna Allen Philippa pants. What swayed me to the Dawn jeans were the multiple leg styles and positive experience of […]
The main reason for the lack of consistent blogging over the past few months has most definitely been down to my little sister’s wedding! I was in charge of making two bridesmaids dresses and a wedding dress (as well as a bunch of other bits) so I was kept pretty busy! The wedding was last […]
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 […]

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 […]
The Pre-Fall 2015 collection from Valentino is one of those collections that I loved from the moment I first saw it and has always stayed in some corner of my memory. (If you get a chance I would really recommend having a scroll through it – you can find it on the Vogue Runway app. […]
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 […]
