DIY Dressmaking with Emily ❤️
This’ll probably my last summery make of the year! I’d been meaning to make the Rae pants from the Named Clothing book Breaking the Pattern for a few months. (Check out my YouTube run through of the book here!). I thought they’d make a great summer staple as a swishy breezy casual trouser. It took […]
A couple of months ago I ended up on Ichiroya – a website selling vintage kimono fabric. It was a long dark rabbit hole of beautiful things and I left with two rolls of silk fabric! It took a few weeks to arrive and even with the cost of customs on top, I thought the […]
I’ve always loved a camisole – they’re so cute and delicate and really rather practical when you’re layering up! I’ve made a couple over the years (though one of my faves is still an old Forever 21 one!) some with great success and others, well, not so great. Mostly I think it’s to do with […]
I’ve got more bag making to show you today! I was sent the Myla bag kit from One Stitch is Never Enough a few weeks ago just after my first foray into using cork fabric (check it out here). I loved that someone was championing the use of this unique material. I was super curious […]
So I’ve been sitting on this pattern for a little while now as I helped to test it a few months ago! The latest pattern release from Sew House Seven is the epitome of a summer basic. It’s a simple jersey pattern for a sleeveless tank top, mini dress and maxi dress with a slight […]
This’ll be my last Minerva Crafts post for a while whilst I knuckle down and actually get started on my little sister’s wedding dress. Following in from my previous two makes for them (here and here), I’m carrying on the wrap dress theme! This time I made the Deer and Doe Magnolia dress which has […]
I was recently lucky enough to test the re-released Olive Jumpsuit from Untitled Thoughts – I’m always a sucker for a jumpsuit and leapt at the chance to try it out! The jumpsuit comes with two full length trouser shapes – wide and tapered as well as a shorts version. The camisole top half has […]
I can’t resist a dungaree pattern! When Hello Workshop asked if I’d like to try out a pattern I was actually planning to say no – I’m kinda busy at the mo and wasn’t planning on taking on any more projects – but when I flicked through their collection and saw the Hayley dungarees I […]
I’m so excited to share my first New Craft House Fabric Ambassador make with you guys! [FYI I picked the project and fabric myself but was sent the fabric for free. All my opinions are free of charge… 🤣] I’d been pondering making the Simplicity 1319 jacket for a while after snapping it up on […]
From my last dress, I fell in love with using this entredeux trim and really wanted to use it again (though this time without having to dye the stuff!). I had a second Tessuti pattern in my pattern stash that I thought would be great to try out – the Annie dress! Annie is a […]
