DIY Dressmaking with Emily ❤️
I’m a little late with this post but it’s a great one to be starting off the new year with! This is for the last #SewMyStyle project of 2017 where we could pick any pattern from the latest Earth Science collection from Named Clothing to be our last piece! I love Named Patterns so I […]
I think I’m one of the last people to have made this dress from By Hand London. It was the subject of the Anna Party a couple of years back (the equivalent to the Moneta Party from earlier this year) which I missed so I never got round to it! I’ve seen so many lovely […]
Who else has made the Yona coat this month? I’ve been looking forward to this month’s #sewmystyle project all year. I love the challenge of making coats but rarely get round to doing it so I knew this would be the perfect kick up the butt, so to speak, to get me going! The Yona […]
I am very aware I didn’t make July’s #sewmystyle challenge. I just really didn’t like that blouse very much and I couldn’t think of a way to hack it to suit me. What can I say? Patterns don’t always work for everyone. So I’m moving straight on to August! This month is all about the […]
I’m doing the tips and tricks for this month Project #Sewmystyle make which is the Briar t-shirt by Megan Nielsen. It’s an absolute wardrobe essential with variations to match all seasons. The Fit The Briar tee comes with a multitude of different options – long or cropped length, short sleeves, long sleeves. You could pretty […]
This month’s make is the Cali Faye Basic Pocket Skirt (if you couldn’t tell that from the title!). It’s a sweet and simple design with big pockets on the front and an elasticated waistband on the back. Now before I actually got my hands the pattern, I had a few ideas on what I wanted […]
I was asked by #sewmystyle creator Alex to do the top tips for this month’s challenge – the Bridgetown dress from Sew House Seven! (This post will also be on the Bluebird Fabrics blog here). The Fit The Bridgetown comes in sizes 0-20. You can make it ether a dress or a tunic with an optional […]
This month’s #sewmystyle has been a bit slow going for a lot of people. Me included! The project for March is the Virginia legging from Megan Nielsen. It’s a really basic pattern to make leggings either with a low waistband (suitable for maternity) or a natural waist. I finally got going on it thought after […]
How is everyone getting on with month 2 of Project #sewmystyle? I know there were quite a few people who weren’t keen on this pattern so I’ve finished my Saunio cardigan early to see what all the fuss was about. I have to say I’m in love with my one! So I read a few […]
I am! This month we are sewing the Saunio cardigan from Named Clothing. Not gonna lie, this is another pattern that isn’t really my cup of tea. (I think it doesn’t help that the girl wearing it in the sample photos doesn’t look very happy to be doing so…). But saying that, I have real […]
