DIY Dressmaking with Emily ❤️
The it pattern of 2019 so far has to be the Zadie Jumpsuit from Paper Theory. As soon as it was released it began popping up absolutely everywhere and still continues to do so. I’m pretty sure every other post I see on Instagram is yet another gorgeous version of this jumpsuit! I got my […]
Ah, that feeling when your latest make coincides with the sunniest of weekends! This week I got started on the Amy jumpsuit from Closet Case Patterns.
