DIY Dressmaking with Emily ❤️
I recently signed up to an online boot making class and whilst watching all the boot making videos I realised there was one thing I needed before I got started – an apron! Now I probably could’ve just bought one for a few pounds but I’m a maker at heart and that means if there’s […]
I’m back on the bag making! My attempts took a bit of a nose dive after a failed attempt with some washable paper but I thought I’d try again with a more foolproof project! This time I wanted to try the rope bag trend. I’ve seen some beautiful ones of Instagram and Pinterest and I’m […]
Are tassel earrings still in fashion? Whether they are or I have no idea but I love them anyway! They’re such a fun statement earring as well as being super lightweight and easy to wear (my ears can’t cope with heavy earrings!). I did some experimenting the other day and made these!

So I thought I’d get this post out sooner rather than later as I know there are a lot of you out there who are making sweaters at the moment and just in case someone might want to use this tutorial this month! I am a big fan of thumbholes in long sleeved sweaters. I remember as […]
I hate bulky purses. I’ve owned many and always abandoned them pretty quickly afterwards. I like to have things I can throw in a pocket and not worry about it fitting!
