DIY Dressmaking with Emily ❤️
Autumn has well and truly hit us here in the UK. The leaves have turned colour and the temperature has fallen dramatically. It’s definitely time to start wrapping up warm! In the news… This month was the Knitting and Stitching Show at Alexandra Palace. It was the first time I managed to go to this […]
The weather’s really started to turn here in London. It’s getting chillier and Collier every day! (I’ve even had to start turning the heating on and the electric blanket has even made an appearance!). Though I have to say, after the hottest summer I can remember (and hottest holiday too), I’m all for a little […]
I might be on holiday right now but I thought I’d get my monthly roundup post up! August was yet another busy month full of crafty related activities! In the news… I’ve posted two new YouTube videos! One covers my makes from August and a second one which goes through my holiday wardrobe for my […]
I always say it but how quickly is this year flying by? Seven months have already gone and I feel like I’m always playing catch up with all my plans! Anyway, here’s a round up of July! In the news… I’ll be holding my first workshop next month! I’ve been invited to teach a t-shirt […]

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 […]
