DIY Dressmaking with Emily ❤️
Well this has been a long time coming! I completed my SneakerKit shoes about 18months ago and passed them into my sister to paint. With everything going on the world, I wasn’t able to get them back until a few months ago and from there I just never got around to photographing them! Now to […]
Is it too late to be blogging about summer makes? The weather has definitely not been on our side this year and my summer feels have very much fizzled out, but I still have a backlog of summery things to blog about! Today I’m sharing the Belle blouse that I mentioned in my last post. […]
Hmmm… I still haven’t got back into the swing of posting regularly which is a shame because I’ve actually got plenty to share at the mo! Today is Dolly’s turn! The summer issue of Fibre Mood is always a favourite of mine. They always seem to get the mood and styling just right and I’m […]
Warning: This is probably one of my most practical makes to date. Don’t let that put you off though! The boxy cardigan sweater look has been big this year. (I reckon it’s a culmination of 18 months of loungewear and the need to move on from a hoodie and a grubby t-shirt…). Usually worn by […]
The Skye pattern is the new summer dress release from Tilly and the Buttons. I was one of the pattern testers for this dress so I got an early version of it! I’ve been trying to veer away from doing too many pattern tests and brand projects but every now and then there’s one I […]
I can’t seem to get enough of puffed sleeves – the bigger the better in my opinion! The Vali pattern from Pattern Fantastique is yet another puffed sleeve design to sneak through my recent pattern buying ban. (Ok, ok, it’s a very loose ban but I’m really trying to use what I have and hack/ […]
There’s always that Big 4 pattern that seems to make it big every couple of years. The last one was the Vogue 9253 with the super deep V neck which, to be fair, is still pretty popular. The current one seems to be the McCall’s pattern 7969. It’s been popular enough that I’ve noticed quite […]
I’ve made the Dawn jeans by Megan Nielsen once before (see it here!) and whilst I love the overall look and the appearance of the fit, I never found them quite comfortable to wear. That’s the trouble with a fitted jean in a non stretch denim! I’d made View A which is the tapered leg […]
It’s been a while since my last post! I’ve been feeling alarmingly uninspired to blog of late – it’s very unlike me! I’ve still been sewing and making (slowly) though! Today’s post is one I actually made a few weeks back. It’s the Winslow Culottes from Helen’s Closet! If I’m being honest, I’ve never been […]
AD| gifted kit to test with no obligation to post This week I made something I never really thought I’d make – clogs! I’m talking wooden based sandals here not an entire wooden show by the way. I’ve always admired other people’s clogs – those Swedish Hasbeens and Lottas and my clogging (😂) up my […]
