DIY Dressmaking with Emily ❤️
Have you ever wondered how shoes were made and if you could somehow magically make them yourself? If you have then the I CAN Make Shoes course are totally for you! As a massive lover of shoes, you can imagine how over the moon I was when Amanda from I CAN Make Shoes, based in […]
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 […]
I haven’t done one of these posts in a long time (and it’s probably slightly late for the current season but never mind)! I am always influenced to some extent by what’s on the catwalks and in the shops. How could I not be when I see so much of it in our day to […]
That’s pronounced “cricket” by the way. (I know, I know. All I want to do when I see that word is say “cry-cut”… 🤣). I’d been thinking for a while over whether I should purchase a cutting machine. That’s been some serious pondering over the past 6 months in fact! I spent hours researching what […]
April has come and gone so here’s another monthly round up! In the news… – April has been wedding month for me and I’m not even getting married! I totalled it up at 7 outfits that I made for events throughout the month – all for a variety of different people and events. It’s really […]
I’m sure a lot of you have been hearing all about sustainable sewing at the moment. I know I have! It’s always a vibrant topic during a Fashion Revolution week (which was last week) and has also been the foundation of a new sewing challenge and a podcast or two. It’s not something I often […]
Let’s see how long I can continue this series for! This is what I got up to in March! In the news… • I made it to the Knitting and Stitching show! (Ok to be fair, I waited until the snow had gone so there was no excuse not to!). I went on the Sunday […]
Today I’m changing things up a little with a short update on what’s been going on at a Self Assembly Required HQ! In the news… I’ve uploaded my first vlog! Check it out on YouTube here. It’s just a short intro video (and I don’t think it’s very good 😂!). I wanted to get something […]
I’ve been feeling in a bit of a creative rut lately. Don’t get me wrong, I still love sewing and doing all the pattern testing and reviews I’ve been doing but I feel like I need to change it up! It’s times like this that I miss my pottery class that I took last year. […]
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 […]
