DIY Dressmaking with Emily ❤️
I love a playsuit/ romper/ jumpsuit/ dungaree/ onesie as you all probably know already! Some people hate them but not me! I never seem to have enough! With the recent heatwave in the U.K., I felt I needed one more style of playsuit in my wardrobe – a short romper! I wanted to create something […]
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 […]
When does a jumpsuit become a dungaree and vice versa? 🤣. An important (not really) distinction to make as I think I made this Closet Case jumpsuit pattern into what would be considered a dungaree! Maybe… Well that confusion aside, here’s a new outfit I’ve made! I took the Amy jumpsuit from Closet Case Patterns […]
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 […]
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 […]
I had the idea for this shirt a while back but it’s taken me a while to get round to doing it! I originally tried the Closet Case Carolyn pyjama pattern a year or so ago (see it here) with the idea of wearing it is a regular shirt. Unfortunately due to the type of […]
I’ve gone into jeans making mode here at Self Assembly Required HQ. I made my first pair of Closet Case Ginger jeans about a year or so ago and I loved them. They weren’t perfect but I was happy with them and they fit much better than any RTW ones I’d had before. I planned […]
So today I’m on my way to the Sewing Weekender hosted by The Fold Line ladies and Charlotte from English Girl at Home. Which means there’s no new make for you guys today because I’ve been frantically prepping and packing for this little weekend away! (I’m so excited!!!) Instead what I’ve got is a round […]
I do love my Nettie bodysuit hacks! This one is for my latest Minerva Crafts Blogger Network post – a corset back Nettie! Now by corset back I just mean it laces up in the back, not that it’s actually corseted in anyway. If it was it would definitely make this body way too difficult […]
I decided to sign up for the Sew Your Dream Jeans workshop from Closet Case not long after I made my first pair of Morgan jeans. After the buzz of making my first pair of jeans wore off a bit, I realised I still had A LOT to learn when it came to my denim […]
