All products from Merchant & Mills

Make fashion work. Use this book to make six classic garments that combine to create a stylish multi-layered wardrobe.

Presented in classic Merchant & Mills style, this beautiful, practical book includes full-size patterns with clear illustration instructions and beautiful photography. The patterns include a neat vest with a boxer back detail, an elegant bias-cut long-sleeved dress, a simple long gathered skirt with a drawstring waist, a batwing wrap top, an oversized drop-shoulder jacket and a pair of classic wide leg trousers. There are also style variations within four of the patterns. The aim of this book is to move beyond simplicity and dare the maker to develop new skills.

A great way to develop your skills and lay a solid foundation for your handmade wardrobe.
