DIY Dressmaking with Emily ❤️
A couple of years ago I splurged on a Wear Lemonade Pattern subscription. It used to be called the “Netflix of sewing” though it’s been rebranding to the “Lemonade Pattern Corner” and allows you to download as many of their sewing patterns as you want! There’s a minimum term of 3 months (at €7,90/month) but […]
Have you ever had that feeling when you come across a pattern and realise it’s everything you ever wanted but didn’t know you needed? That’s what this Grasser pattern 513 was like for me! The pattern is a oversized boxy, dropped shoulder sweater with asymmetric curved panels in the front and back, cropped length, faced […]
This particular style of dress is a classic. Not only can you probably find it in the high street, there are already similar patterns out there. The fitted bodice and gathered skirt with the button front and straps is always a timeless look. That being said I’d kind of avoided it up till now! I […]
I spent a bit of time the other day embellishing my Bertha cardigan with some vinyl and realised I never got round to blogging about it! The Bertha cardigan is from the latest Tilly and the Buttons book, Make It Simple. I tested three of the patterns – the Tabitha midi dress, Safiya playsuit and […]
I tested the Fleur pinafore from Untitled Thoughts a couple of weeks ago and it’s already been released! (Props to Brittani for working so hard to get it turned around and ready for the public!) This pinafore dress is designed to be a low waste, easy to fit utility dress – the kind of thing […]
I was sent down a Russian pattern company rabbit hole a few weeks ago by one of my YouTube followers. I’ve made a Vikisews pattern before and one commenter mentioned Grasser as another brand to try out. Well before I knew it, three hours had gone by and I’d bought half a dozen patterns… 🤦🏻♀️ […]
I was sent down a Russian pattern company rabbit hole the other day thanks to one of my YouTube commenters. I found a bunch of new companies (well, new to me anyway) and spent half a day trawling their websites! I ended up with a bunch of patterns from Grasser and La Forme and it’s […]
I’ve been eyeing up this free pattern from Peppermint magazine for a while now. I’ve seen so many beautiful versions of the Wrap Top (designed by In The Folds) on social media that I finally decided to have a go at it myself! If you hadn’t heard of them already, Peppermint magazine is an Australian […]
Dungarees have become one of my staple items even before the lockdown started – they’re super comfy and have excellent pockets! I’ve got several handmade pairs from patterns that I already love (the Sew House Seven’s Burnside Bibs, the Hayley dungarees from Hello Workshop and the Marilla Walker Roberts Collection) but when I saw the […]
We’re all in the mood to wear comfy clothes right now since so many of us are stuck at home, so the timing of the latest release from CocoWawa could not be better! The Coconut pyjama pattern was released this week. It’s a fun easy pattern that’ll be great for upping your loungewear game! it […]
