DIY Dressmaking with Emily ❤️
A couple of years ago I splurged on a Wear Lemonade Pattern subscription. It used to be called the “Netflix of sewing” though it’s been rebranding to the “Lemonade Pattern Corner” and allows you to download as many of their sewing patterns as you want! There’s a minimum term of 3 months (at €7,90/month) but […]
I’ve got a really special make to share with you today! It’s a jacket I made as a gift for my little sister (the one that got married recently). I’d originally intended to make it as a surprise gift for her wedding but ended up gifting it to her a few weeks earlier for her […]
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 […]
It’s September! How did every do with their August sewing plans? I managed most of the my list bar one of the Simplicity dresses I wanted to make (but it’s OK because they extended the deadline for it)! Look out for the rest of those projects to be blogged on here soon! But first… Remember this dress? […]
(Aargh!) *pulls hair out* <screams into pillow> That was me when I was making this Lena dress… It’s a pattern I got from Wear Lemonade a while back but never made. At the time the PDF patterns were €2.99 each so I just couldn’t resist! So why the frustration? It’s my fault more than anything. […]
The joys of having sisters include having to make things for three people instead of one… Perhaps a little annoying but I did actually offer with these jackets so no one to blame but myself! That being said I’m now officially an expert at putting the Wear Lemonade Rosa bomber jacket together and can do […]
My Rosa bomber jacket got picked as a finalist in the New to Me contest on The Monthly Stitch! The contest was to make something from an indie pattern company that they’d never seen from before. (There’s still 3 more contests to go if anyone else fancies joining in the fun!) I’m so pleased and […]
My first jacket and most ambitious project to date! This is (finally) my Rosa jacket from Wear Lemonade which I’ve been going on about for what feels like forever but is in reality just a few weeks… It’s a fully lined bomber jacket with in seam pockets and metal popper buttons. I added my own […]
I think regardless of whether I like something or not, if you wave it about in front of my face for long enough, I’ll want it… That’s what seems to have happened with these jackets! They first came onto the scene a couple of years ago (I remember seeing them in Zara back then) and […]
