DIY Dressmaking with Emily ❤️
[Gifted pattern and fabric in exchange for an honest review] I love a full length fancy evening dress and for me the newest pattern from Deer and Doe, the Circée wrap dress and skirt pattern, firmly lands in that category. I could tell immediately that this pattern would make for the most wonderful glamorous outfit […]
[AD – gifted fabric and voucher in exchange for a blog post] I’ve added to the Sew Me Sunshine blog with this latest coord set in the craziest of viscose prints. Click through here to read the full post! For those who just want the basic details, I used the Petra viscose lawn from Sew […]
The Nina Lee Park Lane dress has been around for a fair while already. I’d never quite felt that need to get it – it seemed too similar patterns and styles I already had! – but in their birthday sale a few weeks ago, I decided to get it! And I’m super glad I did! […]
Me-Made-May (and the heat!) had me going through my wardrobe recently and I dug out a few summer makes that I’d kinda forgotten about! That included my original Annie dress! This pattern from Tessuti is a loose fit high neck sleeveless dress with an empire length bodice and gathered skirt. I’d never too keen on […]
I feel like I’ve been really good at reusing patterns this year. I often find I’m so into the “next new thing” I forget about patterns that I like! (My exceptions to this are the Fibre Mood Mira and the By Hand London Hannah, both of which sit in the forefront of my mind far […]
I love interestingly cut patterns – the ones that look like weird puzzle pieces that somehow magically come together to make a shape you understand! The Pinnacle top and sweater from Papercut Patterns is one of those! The pattern, if you’re making the V neck version, is just two pattern pieces plus a neck facing. […]
I’m not normally one to reuse patterns in quick succession but I couldn’t help it this time! I was sent this amazing black polka dot viscose crepe from Sew Me Sunshine which I knew would make the best version of the Vikisews платье вики (Viki) that I made only a couple of weeks ago! This […]
Day 1 of the U.K. wide lockdown and I thought the sensible isolation sewing choice would be to make loungewear! I opted for the new Juno pyjama set from the latest Tilly and the Buttons book offering – Make It Simple. Whilst I tested a few patterns from the book (more on those another day), […]
Ana of CocoWawa invited me along to a sew-in she held at The Village Haberdashery a couple of weeks ago to sew her latest pattern – the Honeycomb Dress! At the sew-in I was joined by Ana (@cocowawa), Gabby (@gabberdashery), Rosa (@rosabella.angelica), Maddie (@thimblebee), Marie (@stitchingodyssey), Sarah (@likesewamazing) where we all sewed our own versions! […]
I feel like I’ve been waiting to post about this pattern for far too long! I was lucky enough to be one of the testers for the Stevie dress, one of the two new Tilly and the Buttons patterns that have been released this week. I’ve been sitting on it for about 3 months! The […]
