DIY Dressmaking with Emily ❤️
I’ve been in the midst of two very long and involved craft projects for the past couple of weeks and my brain was just itching for that sense of satisfaction of a completed project! So as a palette cleanser, I felt I needed a quick, easy and straightforward make to shake things up a bit. […]
AD – gifted fabric though no obligation to post Ah, this has been a hard blog post to write mostly because I just don’t like the thing I made. I have a bad habit of just ignoring/ forgetting/ hiding away makes that don’t go to plan and they often don’t make it to the blog […]
You’d have thought I’d be bored of loungewear and the like over the past 18 months but no! Whilst everything is back open here in the U.K. and we’re technically able to go out and about, I realised/ remembered that actually I never really went out much anyway. So for me, the loungewear / fancy […]
I don’t think this pattern was one that immediately called out to me when it was released although on an objective level it should have – button front, tiered skirt… It all sounds like something I’d wear! Maybe it was the styling of the sample garments? Who knows! That being said, I saw a lady […]
This project has jumped the blogging queue as I couldn’t wait to share it! I’ve been dreaming of turning this piece of chartreuse green velvet from The New Craft House into a jumpsuit for months!

I always like to make myself a birthday outfit if I can. It’s fun to do and gives me an excuse to make something special! Last year I made a new swimsuit for a spa day I had booked. This year, with the lifted COVID restrictions, I wanted to make a fancy outfit for a […]
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 […]
[Updated 24/1/22 with my latest version of the Milo!] 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 […]
