DIY Dressmaking with Emily ❤️
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 […]
The Pre-Fall 2015 collection from Valentino is one of those collections that I loved from the moment I first saw it and has always stayed in some corner of my memory. (If you get a chance I would really recommend having a scroll through it – you can find it on the Vogue Runway app. […]
This is the second Tessuti pattern that I’ve bought but only the first one I’ve made! I got the Oslo coat pattern last year with the best intentions of sewing it up (the pieces are even all cut out!) but I lost my momentum with it and it’s currently in a bag waiting for next […]
The latest Tilly and the Buttons patterns dropped last week so I can finally show you guys the tester version of Jessa that I made! This latest pattern release includes two patterns: Romy – a jersey top with a envelope neckline and back tie and Jessa – a 70s style high waisted flared trouser and […]
I’m continuing my run of wrap dresses for the Minerva Crafts Blogger Network with the simply styled Burda 6344 pattern! This must have been a recent release because when I googled it (which I do for all my new patterns to check what other people’s experiences with them have been – it’s a great way to get […]
