DIY Dressmaking with Emily ❤️
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 […]
I finally faced my sock knitting fears! I looked those strange heel flaps and gussets in the eye and said you’ll not stop me from living my sock knitting dreams! Ok, that might be a bit of an overstatement but I definitely felt it on the inside! Socks have always been one of those things […]
It’s been a little while since my last post – I’ve been in a bit of a sewing/ blogging slump! I’m going to try to push myself out of that and share a (not so recent) make with you today! Since lockdown started I’ve been knitting up an absolute storm – I’ve been finding it […]
The upside of lockdown means plenty of time to knit! I’m not the quickest knitter and can take years to finish a knitting project – I tend to get a bit bored so I don’t knit very consistently. In fact I’ve still got a project from 2018 on needles… This knitting project was only started […]
(Skip to the end for the instructions!) I’ve finally knitted something I like! It’s only taken me several years… 😂 I got some wool from We Are Knitters a couple of weeks back. I’m unfortunately a major sucker for a sale and when I found this wool for 30% off I couldn’t resist! I got […]
