DIY Dressmaking with Emily ❤️
In case you missed it, there was a recent collaboration between designer Simone Rocha and H&M a couple of months ago. It was a collection full of ruffled, sheer and bejewelled pieces and I loved it all! Ok, I loved just a few pieces – some were just a bit too weird even for me! […]
The Nina Lee Park Lane dress has been around for a fair while already. I’d never quite felt that need to get it – it seemed too similar patterns and styles I already had! – but in their birthday sale a few weeks ago, I decided to get it! And I’m super glad I did! […]
When I picked up a floral viscose jersey from Fabworks Mill last year, I didn’t have an inkling of what I wanted to make with it. All I knew was that the fabric was wonderfully soft and drapey with a good amount of stretch and that the price was too good to resist! I’m not […]
AD – gifted fabric It’s been a while since my last post! I’ve been busy beavering away on some Xmas gifts which has meant less to share with you guys here! I did manage to squeeze in time to make myself a festive new dress in time for Christmas though! I was offered my choice […]
Ah. Frilled collars. Has anyone else been obsessed with them since this trend has emerged? (I recommend following @dominique.major on Instagram for the best collar inspo in her stories!).

Sewing has been a bit of a non starter for me recently. I had all these wonderful plans and ideas but I think something to do with the change of the season combined with feeling a bit overwhelmed with what I wanted to do meant I just kind of stalled. I needed a project to […]
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 […]
Summer may be over but I’ve still got my last few hot weather makes to share! (My own fault for being rather lax about blogging last month!). I was gifted an amazing piece of cotton jersey from By Graziela Fabrics. Run by mum-and-daughter team, Graziela and Nina have recently launched their fabric range in the […]
Do you ever look at an outfit and think to yourself “I can totally make that!”? It happens to me rather often especially when I go out of my way to do some (online) window shopping! In the middle of lockdown I took to Net A Porter for some sewing inspiration and came across this […]
I recently picked up a few remnant bits from Sew Me Sunshine – in particular a few Rifle Paper Co prints! I had enough of the Wild Rose black rayon that I wanted to make a maxi skirt. I hoped it would be a summer make that I would be able to wear year on […]
