DIY Dressmaking with Emily ❤️
AD – gifted kit I’ve been eyeing up these amazing bag making kits from German company Bags and Pieces for a very very long time. Ever since I saw them on Instagram via @sleepless_in_bavaria (seriously, go follow Bianca if you don’t already – beautiful makes, great recommendations and lots of funny cat videos!), I’ve been […]
I love making coats and jackets. Really. (Despite my recent bomber jacket fail!). I always make epic coat plans every winter though I often don’t get around to doing them until the cold season is almost over! This year I was determined to get in there early! I’d been sitting on this piece of beautiful […]
I’ve been in the midst of two very long and involved craft projects for the past couple of weeks and my brain was just itching for that sense of satisfaction of a completed project! So as a palette cleanser, I felt I needed a quick, easy and straightforward make to shake things up a bit. […]
AD – gifted fabric though no obligation to post Ah, this has been a hard blog post to write mostly because I just don’t like the thing I made. I have a bad habit of just ignoring/ forgetting/ hiding away makes that don’t go to plan and they often don’t make it to the blog […]
You’d have thought I’d be bored of loungewear and the like over the past 18 months but no! Whilst everything is back open here in the U.K. and we’re technically able to go out and about, I realised/ remembered that actually I never really went out much anyway. So for me, the loungewear / fancy […]
It’s been a long while since I’ve finished a knitting project. This last one has taken me almost six whole months to finish! (In my defence, I took a looong break from knitting over the summer as it was too warm to sit with this project draped over me!). After deciding I wouldn’t buy any […]
I don’t think this pattern was one that immediately called out to me when it was released although on an objective level it should have – button front, tiered skirt… It all sounds like something I’d wear! Maybe it was the styling of the sample garments? Who knows! That being said, I saw a lady […]
I’ve used the Myosotis dress pattern from Deer and Doe as the base for a multitude of hacks already. I like the V neck and semi loose fit which I can just though over my head! It’s a great base to play around with! (Check out previous versions here, here and here!) I fancied one […]
I feel like I’ve made a ton of Fibre Mood patterns lately! It’s not on purpose, I just keep finding ways to use them! Today is the turn of the Elma pattern which I’ve already used twice here and here. I had gotten hold of some gorgeous Rifle Paper Co lawn remnants from Sew Me […]
This project has jumped the blogging queue as I couldn’t wait to share it! I’ve been dreaming of turning this piece of chartreuse green velvet from The New Craft House into a jumpsuit for months! After spending all that deliberating over what pattern to use and what style to make, I finally settled on my […]
