DIY Dressmaking with Emily ❤️
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 […]
It’s that time of year where we all make unrealistic plans that we’ll try (and fail) to stick to as the year goes on! I’m starting out with a new #makenine list! This year I’ve opted to put lots of basics in my list to help me fill out that aspect of my wardrobe. It’s […]
2017 has just passed by in a blur! I felt like I was constantly wondering where all the time had gone. Days and months seemed to just disappear! Where did it all go??! I thought I’d do a little round up of my year today. I wanted to step back and appreciate what I’ve actually […]
This year I decided to make most of my sewing skills and tried to make my Christmas presents! Of course I left it way too late and spent the last couple of weeks frantically sewing to make up for it! I definitely fell short of my plans so I had to do a little bit […]
When I was approached by Spoonflower a few weeks ago to participate in their holiday blog tour I just couldn’t say no! The theme was simple – what’s everyone making this holiday season? I thought I’d start us off with a fabulous holiday party dress! I’d picked up an Anne Klein for Vogue pattern a […]
Every year I plan to make a coat and I usually put it off and off until it’s summer again and by then I don’t want to be sewing winter wear! I’ve managed to make one so far (see it here) but that does unfortunately mean that I’ve still got piles of unmade coat patterns […]
I was really chuffed when Portia Lawrie from the Makery blog asked me to be in the blogger line up for this years Refashioners series. I had avidly followed last years #jeanius themed blog tour and community challenge on Instagram and loved how creative and innovative everyone was! That being said, when I learned what […]
