DIY Dressmaking with Emily ❤️
I recently picked up a few remnant bits from Sew Me Sunshine – in particular a few Rifle Paper Co prints! I had enough of the Wild Rose black rayon that I wanted to make a maxi skirt. I hoped it would be a summer make that I would be able to wear year on […]
It’s been a little while since my last post it seems! I’ve just come back from a week of boating along the Rochdale Canal in West Yorkshire (yes in one of those narrowboats/ barges, yes it’s very slow, no it wasn’t relaxing at all…). Needless to say I whipped up a couple of things before […]
A year later and I’m still mildly (completely) obsessed with the Mira dress pattern from Fibre Mood! Every time I make a new Mira dress I tell myself that that’ll be my last one… Aaaaaand then I make another one! Its loose relaxed fit is just too easy to make and wear! (Check out my […]
The latest issue of Fibre Mood is filled with a ton of patterns that I fell in love with straight away. The Mindy dress was no exception! This dress seemed to hit on a ton of summer trends that I’m loving right now – a square neckline, exaggerated puff sleeve, gathered skirt. It couldn’t be […]
I managed to do A LOT of knitting during lockdown. (What can I say? I had a lot of free time… 😂). This project was my second completed sweater which I actually finished knitting way back in May! It took this long for me to put the finishing touches to it though! I used the […]
After years of me saying I’ll never bother making my work wardrobe, I finally caved and started on some work trousers! I picked out the Closet Core Patterns (formerly known as Closet Case Patterns) Pietra pants for this. I liked the high waist, flat front and elasticated back! It has large pockets set into the […]
I’ve got yet another Fibre Mood make for you today (sorry, not sorry! 😂). Today’s the turn of the Lola blouse from the latest issue. This sleeveless blouse has a lined front “bib” with a ruffle continuing from the back all the way around. It has an open bra-friendly back which closes with ties. There’s […]
The Adrienne Blouse from Friday Pattern Company was one which I always had mixed feeling about. It was obviously really popular considering the number of versions I saw on Instagram and it had the big sleeve thing going on that I usually love and I was slowly getting to the point where I wanted to […]
I’ve been avoiding making outerwear for a little while now. I’d been planning to try making a leather jacket but could never quite commit purchasing the hides. The last jacket I made was one of the things that got stolen from my car and I think I was a bit bitter about it after that! […]
At the beginning of lockdown I treated myself to a ring carving kit from The Workbench London. It seemed like a nice way to support small business, learn a new craft and keep me distracted during a very weird time! The kit consisted of a ring sizer, pencil, craft knife, two types of sandpaper and […]
