What do we do when we are stuck at home sick???
We sorted and organise the fabric stacks.
We rearrange whole rooms. We declutter the mind and soul. We sleep for 11hrs, because we've over done it.

Life's Little Update... featuring "Not a Quitter" ☕❤️
Life has been a little quiet on here, but definitely not behind the scenes!
I've been busy gearing up for my next market, kicking things off at Condobolin Sports Club on August 2nd, while spending countless hours in the sewing room. When the hyperfocus hits, there's no stopping it! Jo and I have been working away on a brand-new pattern and a practical product for a 2027 release. It's still under wraps while we perfect the prototype, but trust me... you'll want to watch this space! 👀🧵
Outside of crafting, life has certainly thrown a few curveballs. We sadly said goodbye to our beautiful Franklin, our much-loved 12-year-old chocolate Lab. 💔 He leaves a huge hole in our hearts.
It's also been school holidays, which has meant lots of family time and even a quick little getaway to recharge.
Mentally, it's been a bit of a rollercoaster. Navigating life as a neurodivergent person comes with plenty of highs, lows, self-discovery, and trying to figure out where you fit and who your people are. Some days have been easier than others, but we're still here... still creating... still moving forward.
There are so many craft ideas buzzing around in my head and never enough hours in the day to make them all happen!
And, because apparently I needed another hyperfocus, the last few days have been dedicated to baking. I'm fairly convinced I've gained about 5kg... but honestly, the taste-testing was essential. 😂🍰
So, here's your little reminder...
"I could give up coffee... but I'm not a quitter."
And while we're at it... I'm not a quitter either. ❤️
Thank you all for sticking around, supporting my little business, and cheering me on through every season of life.
Love always,
Emi 💕

✨ A truly Emi-style work of heart ✨

Upcycled denim jacket workshops at Sew & Go these school holidays… because let’s face it, Emi is still a kid at heart. 🥰🧵

It all started with an op-shopping trip with our favourite, Selinder — a little retail therapy, hunting through all the crafty treasures and getting that creative brain ticking overtime.

🧥 Denim jacket — $8 from Salvos
🐶 Puppy dog tapestry — $2.50 from Salvos, which immediately screamed EMI to both of us
🤍 Vintage cream lace — lovingly hoarded away by Jo herself
💡 Creative input from Jenny at Sew & Go to really get those creative juices flowing

Then today, it was time to bring all those random little treasures together and turn them into something special.

The tapestry was overlocked, the vintage lace carefully sewn down, everything positioned and repositioned… and, of course, it wouldn’t be a true Emi creation without an appearance from the famous seam ripper. 😂🪡

Then we tried the zig-zag Juki — and what a machine! It sailed through layers of denim, lace and tapestry canvas like butter, leaving the most beautiful smooth finish.

A little lace on the sleeves, a little detail on the pockets, and suddenly all the individual pieces began to tell one story.

What started as an $8 op-shop jacket, a $2.50 tapestry and some lovingly hoarded vintage lace is now something completely unique.

A little bit vintage. A little bit quirky. A whole lot creative. And unmistakably Emi. 🥹🐶🌸

Not just upcycled. A truly Emi-style work of heart, ready to be worn. 💕✨

How fantastic are these kids workshops happening this school holidays.

What a great opportunity to get kids at a younger age engaged in textiles and better yet upcycling something we love here at Sinply Design. The skills younger generation can learn to reduce their environmental impact. We love it.
