About Deer & Doe

Deer & Doe was founded by Eléonore in 2012 with the goal of offering well-drafted sewing patterns in the French tradition that would be both easy to sew and wear. In 2024, the original Deer & Doe team decided to move on to the next stage in their lives, and lovingly handed off the brand to the team at Closet Core Patterns. You can read more about that decision here.

We are so excited to take Deer & Doe into the future with fresh designs that honour the chic, feminine + timeless style you’ve come to know and love. You can expect new patterns in early 2025; in the meantime, enjoy our beautiful collection of fully bilingual sewing patterns, and we wish you bonne couture!

Fabric as fresh as its print

This is such a soft poplin. It has a cool hand that begs to be a summer sundress. It is so light and airy. I find a lot of cotton poplins to be stiff or have an unappealing feel to them, but this one is special. The colors are so bold and fun. Minor to no shrinkage in the wash. I honestly can't decide what to make with it.

Delirious for Ditzy

Very pleased to finally find a good shirting poplin. Local fabric stores, few and far between, seem to carry predominately material for quilting or children’s clothing.

Can’t wait to sew this up!

I prewashed this fleece (and matching baby rib) and it came out well. It’s very soft and cozy, but a little too stretchy, I thought, for my original plans for a Marlow Sweater. I’m going to make an Elliot Sweater instead, or maybe another Toaster. Can’t wait to get to it.

Just gorgeous!

I plan to make a skirt from this fabric. The colors will work well with my wardrobe and the drape of the fabric will work well with the pattern I want to use.

Organic Cotton Canvas

High quality fabric! Will definitely be purchasing from Core Fabrics again.

Love this lining

I love this bemberg lining. I’ve used it to line a Wool Jasika blazer and a linen+rayon Magnolia dress. It’s slick but not slippery so it sews and serges well. It also has a great body to use as an underlining, only altering the drape a bit on lighter fabrics to make a slightly sturdier (and opaque) bodice.
