DIY Dressmaking with Emily ❤️
I went to a wedding this summer for the first time since Covid. It was definitely an occasion that needed a new dress! I was lucky enough to receive a wonderful gift from Liberty and got my hands on the most spectacular silk print from their summer The Beauty and the Chaos collection. I’ve been […]
This project has been taking over most of my brain space for well over a month! I’ve been doing a bit of roller skating since the pandemic and I’ve been on the hunt for a decent skate bag ever since – not that I need one but I love an excuse to accessorise! Unfortunately skate […]
Well I thought I’d start the year by catching up with all the makes I didn’t post about from 2022! (Let’s face it, there are quite a few!). This one is a vintage pattern I picked up from a car boot sale a couple of years ago. (Is 80s vintage now? I feel like if […]
[Gifted pattern and fabric in exchange for an honest review] I love a full length fancy evening dress and for me the newest pattern from Deer and Doe, the Circée wrap dress and skirt pattern, firmly lands in that category. I could tell immediately that this pattern would make for the most wonderful glamorous outfit […]
[AD – gifted fabric and voucher in exchange for a blog post] I’ve added to the Sew Me Sunshine blog with this latest coord set in the craziest of viscose prints. Click through here to read the full post! For those who just want the basic details, I used the Petra viscose lawn from Sew […]
Every now and then I get a real hankering for a new pair of jeans. It doesn’t happen super often – the last successful pair I made was a pair of Closet Core Ginger Jeans back in early 2020 and those were a replacement for a pair that was in a bag that got stolen. […]
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 […]
If there’s a dress that epitomises my summer it’s this one! The Holmen dress by new-to-me pattern company The Uncut Project immediately caught my eye. I love the loose gathered dress look (still!) but in particular I loved the skinny straps and low back. I’ve become a bit obsessed with everything backless at the mo […]
Hope you have all been coping in the heatwave this week! 40 degrees in London just seems mental! Luckily, I am summer ready with this latest make! I picked up the end of a roll of gorgeous linen from Stitch Fabrics at The Stitch Festival earlier this year. I only had 1.4 metres so I […]
Who doesn’t love a co-ord these days? That trend for matching tops and bottoms of the past few years is still going strong – you’d think the desire to recreate the childhood look of matching sets would’ve faded by now but I think the loungewear sets of lockdown has kept the trend alive!
