DIY Dressmaking with Emily ❤️
There are times when you just know that two patterns will work so well together for an outfit idea you’ve just dreamed up. In this case it was the Utu pinafore from the Named book Breaking the Pattern and the Freya sweater from the Tilly and the Buttons’ book Stretch! I’d been sitting on this […]
My quest for the perfect T-shirt pattern ground to a halt last year. I was feeling a little disheartened with the results I was getting and had decided to just give the matter a rest but recently a friend mentioned the recent release of a free pattern The Stellan Tee by French Navy and I […]
Lilac is the new millennial pink right? I’ve really embraced my love for this colour with a top to toe look in a gorgeous linen-tencel fabric from Minerva Crafts for my latest Blogger Network make. I’ve made a full suit using the Style Arc Mckenzie blazer and the Wear Lemonade Julietta trousers! This was my […]
Ever wanted to make your own raincoat but felt a bit intimidated by the patterns on offer? Then the Eden is for you! This is the latest pattern release from Tilly and the Buttons – a classic anorak style jacket with raglan sleeves that comes in two lengths and with optional storm flaps. You can […]
I’ve discovered there’s is something so satisfying about making baby clothes. I think it’s to do with making whole garments out of fractions of fabric and they end up looking so cute too! I’m at an age where all my peers seem to be popping out babies left right and centre so amidst all the […]
Thread Theory really are my go to for menswear patterns. They haven’t let me down yet! The Strathcona Henley was no exception! I made this as a present for a friend and it was just one of those things that’s a nice easy make which makes you feel like you should always make gifts for […]
This dress has been probably close to 3 months in the making! I initially planned it to be my entry for the Little Red Dress challenge in December but never got around to finishing it. I then planned to have it done in time for Chinese New Year (cause red is always lucky!) but was […]
As with every Chinese New Year, I had to have some new pyjamas! This year’s pair have undoubtedly been my favourite so far – I made sushi pyjamas (or sushijamas as Joy of Pink Coat Club likes to call them). I pick up this novelty printed jersey from Like Sew Amazing just before Christmas. I […]
For this month’s Minerva Crafts Blogger Network make, I decided to go against my normal choice of seasonally inappropriate clothing for something that was actually WARM! So, I just wanted to start by saying that the fabric I’m using for this project was one that I chose by accident. (That’s what happens when you think […]
Another year, another Spoonflower collab! Spoonflower recently reached out to see if I’d want to take part in their blog hop celebrating 1 year of their dogwood denim fabric! The heavyweight drill was perfect for a project I already had in mind – a little pouffe for my living room! The recent free pattern release […]
