DIY Dressmaking with Emily ❤️
If I had to pick my pattern of the year, the Nina Lee Park Lane dress. It’s the pattern I never knew I needed until I had it and then I couldn’t stop making more! This time I was inspired by the brand Yolke who for whatever reason kept popping up on my Instagram feeds […]
I don’t think this pattern was one that immediately called out to me when it was released although on an objective level it should have – button front, tiered skirt… It all sounds like something I’d wear! Maybe it was the styling of the sample garments? Who knows! That being said, I saw a lady […]
I’ve used the Myosotis dress pattern from Deer and Doe as the base for a multitude of hacks already. I like the V neck and semi loose fit which I can just though over my head! It’s a great base to play around with! (Check out previous versions here, here and here!) I fancied one […]
I feel like I’ve made a ton of Fibre Mood patterns lately! It’s not on purpose, I just keep finding ways to use them! Today is the turn of the Elma pattern which I’ve already used twice here and here. I had gotten hold of some gorgeous Rifle Paper Co lawn remnants from Sew Me […]
This project has jumped the blogging queue as I couldn’t wait to share it! I’ve been dreaming of turning this piece of chartreuse green velvet from The New Craft House into a jumpsuit for months! After spending all that deliberating over what pattern to use and what style to make, I finally settled on my […]
I bought the most gorgeous green and pink floral satin from Sew Me Sunshine earlier this year. It was an ex designer deadstock fabric so I snapped up the last of it before it was gone forever! The vibrant colour was just so beautiful! Of course with an impulse purchase like that, I had no […]
Hmmm… I still haven’t got back into the swing of posting regularly which is a shame because I’ve actually got plenty to share at the mo! Today is Dolly’s turn! The summer issue of Fibre Mood is always a favourite of mine. They always seem to get the mood and styling just right and I’m […]
[Updated 24/1/22 with my latest version of the Milo!] Warning: This is probably one of my most practical makes to date. Don’t let that put you off though! The boxy cardigan sweater look has been big this year. (I reckon it’s a culmination of 18 months of loungewear and the need to move on from […]
I love a playsuit/ romper/ jumpsuit/ dungaree/ onesie as you all probably know already! Some people hate them but not me! I never seem to have enough! With the recent heatwave in the U.K., I felt I needed one more style of playsuit in my wardrobe – a short romper! I wanted to create something […]
I’ve made the Dawn jeans by Megan Nielsen once before (see it here!) and whilst I love the overall look and the appearance of the fit, I never found them quite comfortable to wear. That’s the trouble with a fitted jean in a non stretch denim! I’d made View A which is the tapered leg […]
