DIY Dressmaking with Emily ❤️
This’ll be my last Minerva Crafts post for a while whilst I knuckle down and actually get started on my little sister’s wedding dress. Following in from my previous two makes for them (here and here), I’m carrying on the wrap dress theme! This time I made the Deer and Doe Magnolia dress which has […]
I’m continuing my run of wrap dresses for the Minerva Crafts Blogger Network with the simply styled Burda 6344 pattern! This must have been a recent release because when I googled it (which I do for all my new patterns to check what other people’s experiences with them have been – it’s a great way to get […]
I took a month off my Minerva Craft Blogger Network makes but I’m back at it again with a new summer dress! For this make I made a mini wrap dress using the Simplicity 8137 pattern and a gorgeous Lady McElroy linen look viscose. I shortened all the pattern pieces to fit – I took […]
Lilac is the new millennial pink right? I’ve really embraced my love for this colour with a top to toe look in a gorgeous linen-tencel fabric from Minerva Crafts for my latest Blogger Network make. I’ve made a full suit using the Style Arc Mckenzie blazer and the Wear Lemonade Julietta trousers! This was my […]
For this month’s Minerva Crafts Blogger Network make, I decided to go against my normal choice of seasonally inappropriate clothing for something that was actually WARM! So, I just wanted to start by saying that the fabric I’m using for this project was one that I chose by accident. (That’s what happens when you think […]
My first Minerva Craft’s Blogger Network for the year went up today! For this post, I decided a lovely new dress would be the perfect way to start off my sewing journey for 2019! I chose 2 metres of the beautiful Atelier Brunette viscose crepe in the Storm colourway. It’s a light petrol blue shade […]
It’s what we’ve all been waiting for since they announced it – it’s the new sewing pattern book from Named Breaking the Pattern: a modern way to sew! When Minerva Crafts got in touch to see if I’d be interested in trying out a pattern from the new book with their fabric, I jumped at […]
For this month’s Minerva Crafts Blogger Network make, I decided I’d get started on some autumn/ winter sewing and I’ve made the Pilvi dress from Named Clothing. This dress has been on my “to sew” list for some time now. I even had the pattern printed off and ready to be stuck together for several […]
Today I’m bringing you my latest Minerva Crafts project! This make is ALL about the fabric. I picked out the gorgeous Lady McElroy Cobra Corsage print in the cotton lawn (it also comes in a jersey crepe). I love the print on this fabric – that juxtaposition of those beautiful flowers intertwined with beetles and […]
I’ve got another Minerva Crafts make for you guys today! And it’s a pattern hack of one of the latest Tilly and the Button patterns – the Seren dress! The inspiration for this pattern hack came from the fact that I need more separates in my life. I’ve been making far too many dresses of […]
