DIY Dressmaking with Emily ❤️
I’ve got a really special make to share with you today! It’s a jacket I made as a gift for my little sister (the one that got married recently). I’d originally intended to make it as a surprise gift for her wedding but ended up gifting it to her a few weeks earlier for her […]
Finally the Hannah dress has been released! I’ve been eyeing this pattern ever since By Hand London called for testers months ago and after seeing the sample version on Hannah (of The New Craft House and who it’s named after) I knew I’d want my own version too! I was lucky enough to be in […]
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 […]
