DIY Dressmaking with Emily ❤️
The Didi sweater has that retro 80s/90s vibe with the quarter zip that’s all the rage at the moment and this pattern was one that I was most excited about from edition 17 of Fibre Mood. I’d seen samples and a line drawing ahead of its release and thought this was a sweater I’d love […]
This is a rather belated Lunar New Year pyjama post! Every Lunar New Year (or Chinese New Year in my house), my mother has insisted on us having new pyjamas and clothes. It’s tradition! (I think historically it’s always been a time when kids get their new clothes for the year much like how you […]
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 […]
Is it too late to be blogging about summer makes? The weather has definitely not been on our side this year and my summer feels have very much fizzled out, but I still have a backlog of summery things to blog about! Today I’m sharing the Belle blouse that I mentioned in my last post. […]
AD – gifted pattern The latest Fibre Mood issue has just launched today! (This is one of my favourite sewing magazines so I’m always excited to get it!). Issue 13 is yet again full of gorgeous patterns. I have to say, I’m very rarely disappointed with what they come with! I’ve been a long time […]
I was gifted a piece of fabric from the latest Fabric Godmother print drop back in July/ August time and I’ve only just gotten time to use it! How is time passing so quickly??? U.K. based independent fabric shop, Fabric Godmother has been dipping their toes into the world of fabric production and has created […]
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 […]
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’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 […]
Macrame is one of those trends that pops back every summer. It seems to convey that effortless boho chic look that we all strive for as soon as the sun comes out! I’ve done a bit of macrame before (I made this fab hanging mirror) and a few bits and bobs here and there. But […]
