DIY Dressmaking with Emily ❤️
Knitting really has been a bit of a saviour this past 10 months. It’s kept my fingers and brain occupied through some crazy times! One of my favourite yarns to knit with at the moment are super bulky/ chunky yarns – the speed at which this stuff knits up is just pure joy! My relatively […]
A new year always seems to be a great time to pick up a new hobby. I know I’m always on the lookout for the next thing to try! I’ve compiled a list of 7 crafts that I’m excited about trying out and exploring further this year. Why not check out this list and see […]
You’d think a grown woman would have moved on from a pinafore dress but not me! It’s been years since my first Tilly and the Buttons Cleo and I’m still obsessed! I’ve tried plenty of different ones over the years – the Fleur, the Rickey, the Bobbi, the Utu – and loved each of them […]
Well what can be said apart from that 2020 was probably the weirdest year we’ve ever had?

I’ve just not been able to stop knitting since the first lockdown this year. My fingers have not been able to stay still! This’ll be my 5th(?) completed sweater this year! The reason behind my recent spate of quick knits is Good Night, Day– a knitting pattern brand specialising in modern chunky knits. Their simple […]
I had planned to write and post about this yesterday but decided to wait 24 hours to temper my thoughts… I decided from the get go that I’d make a bag with the leftover fabric from my I AM Jacques raincoat that I’d made a couple of weeks ago. I figured the waterproof fabric would […]
Nina Lee’s latest pattern is the Bakerloo dress and blouse. I was part of the pattern testing process just this week (Nina’s turn around time from testing to release is AMAZING) and I thought I’d share mine with you! The Bakerloo dress/ blouse pattern features a loose-ish fit dress or blouse with big puffed sleeves […]
I’ve been dreaming of making a yellow raincoat for the longest time. The pattern and fabric has changed again and again but I finally settled on my options!
