DIY Dressmaking with Emily ❤️
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 […]
I took a month off my Minerva Craft Blogger Network makes but I’m back at it again with a new summer dress! For this make I made a mini wrap dress using the Simplicity 8137 pattern and a gorgeous Lady McElroy linen look viscose. I shortened all the pattern pieces to fit – I took […]
Untitled Thoughts is a new indie pattern company run by Brittani over in the states. She’s released just a couple of patterns so far but is storming ahead with more and more! I was lucky enough to test her latest pattern – the Amelie dress! The dress has a simple design – a fitted bodice […]
For the record, I finished this on the last day of April so I haven’t broken my Me Made May pledge just yet! I’ve been in a bit of a Fibre Mood run of late, firstly with the Arlette Skirt and then the Stella Sweater. This next make has to be my favourite one so […]
I’m already on to my second Fibre Mood make! This pattern, the Stella sweater, is from their second pattern book (which I don’t actually have – I got this pattern as a PDF download instead) – it’s a cropped dolman sleeve sweater with extra panels on the sleeve. It’s finished with a ribbed cuffs, neckband […]
The it pattern of 2019 so far has to be the Zadie Jumpsuit from Paper Theory. As soon as it was released it began popping up absolutely everywhere and still continues to do so. I’m pretty sure every other post I see on Instagram is yet another gorgeous version of this jumpsuit! I got my […]
Ah, that feeling when your latest make coincides with the sunniest of weekends! This week I got started on the Amy jumpsuit from Closet Case Patterns. This pattern is a PDF only release from late last summer. It features a long wide legged trousers, a gentle V neck and wide straps with an optional waist […]
