DIY Dressmaking with Emily ❤️
This blog has been rather sadly neglected of late. I can only hope to remedy that now! Today’s post has been over 6 months in the making – it’s a brand new knitted sweater! I’ve been really enjoying knitting of late as there’s something so satisfying about how little loops of yarn can turn into […]
I’ve never been a huge crocheter. I occasionally pick up the hobby when I’m really inspired by a project like the raffia bag I made a few years ago (free pattern here!) but otherwise I’m usually Team Knit! I guess I still associate a lot of crocheting with granny squares and that’s never been my […]
I’ve been admiring the Kit Couture kits for quite some time now and finally decided to treat myself to a kit for Christmas this year! I picked the Stjernøya Slipover partly because I loved the sewing but also partly because it’s a smaller project than going for a full sweater straight off the bat. That […]
This was my last knit of 2021 and I managed to get it done just in time for the Christmas period! I had been moving towards lighter knits after enjoying a year or two of super bulky projects. My recent Wool and the Gang New Rules sweater introduced me to the loveliness that is blown […]
It’s been a long while since I’ve finished a knitting project. This last one has taken me almost six whole months to finish! (In my defence, I took a looong break from knitting over the summer as it was too warm to sit with this project draped over me!). After deciding I wouldn’t buy any […]
So good I made it twice… Anyone else seem to feel like they see the same trends over and over until that’s all you can think of making? Maybe it’s the cookies (computer ones not 🍪) that means as soon as I show an interest in anything, i suddenly end up seeing them everywhere! You […]
I’ve not been doing much sewing/ knitting/ crafting the last week or so as I’ve been stuck in some rather big diy projects in my flat! The good news is that they’re just about done. The bad is that blogging has taken a bit of a backseat! I shouldn’t be too hard in myself except […]
Berets are just one of those items that every few years or so I find really appealing. I’ve owned my fair share over the years. In fact I think I could dig out at least 3 from the back of my cupboard right now all with varying degrees of wear. I usually have a few […]
Knitting really has been a bit of a saviour this past 10 months. It’s kept my fingers and brain occupied through some crazy times! One of my favourite yarns to knit with at the moment are super bulky/ chunky yarns – the speed at which this stuff knits up is just pure joy! My relatively […]
I’ve just not been able to stop knitting since the first lockdown this year. My fingers have not been able to stay still! This’ll be my 5th(?) completed sweater this year! The reason behind my recent spate of quick knits is Good Night, Day– a knitting pattern brand specialising in modern chunky knits. Their simple […]
