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 […]
I’ve used the Myosotis dress pattern from Deer and Doe as the base for a multitude of hacks already. I like the V neck and semi loose fit which I can just though over my head! It’s a great base to play around with! (Check out previous versions here, here and here!) I fancied one […]
AD – gifted fabric It’s been a while since my last post! I’ve been busy beavering away on some Xmas gifts which has meant less to share with you guys here! I did manage to squeeze in time to make myself a festive new dress in time for Christmas though! I was offered my choice […]

This’ll be my last Minerva Crafts post for a while whilst I knuckle down and actually get started on my little sister’s wedding dress. Following in from my previous two makes for them (here and here), I’m carrying on the wrap dress theme! This time I made the Deer and Doe Magnolia dress which has […]
This month Minerva Crafts make is another one that I’ve been planning to do for a little while now, just waiting for the right time to make it! It’s the Deer and Doe Myosotis dress! This pattern was released earlier this year in the Deer and Doe’s spring/ summer range. It’s a beautiful ruffled semi […]
Did you spend your summer seeing Hoya blouses all over your Instagram feed like I did? The simple mock wrapped blouse was released as part of Deer and Doe’s Botany collection earlier this year and seemed to be everywhere! Or maybe I just kept seeing photos of the same one… 😂 I was eager to […]
