Hello Sewing Friends!
Today I am happy to bring you some new additions to the BESPOKE NOTIONS collection which features a selection of sensible supplies and practical patterns from Merchant & Mills.
Finding Merchant & Mills was for me like wandering into a Victorian high street haberdashery. This thoroughly British throwback brand is part of a growing neo-retro movement that is reimagining vintage style. I admire their pragmatic aesthetic. They focus on making patterns for workwear that are both sensible and stylish, and most importantly wearable.
Many thanks to Carol on the ArtBarn team for sharing photos and tips of her versions of the new ELLSWORTH SHIRT and FOREMAN JACKET. You can read more about Carol’s creations on MARCYTILTON.blog in the posts titled The Ellsworth Shirt in Flannel and Country Suit.
Carol’s version of the ELLSWORTH SHIRT shown below was made with SMITH and WATSON, a couple of classics currently available in the FLANNEL collection on MARCYTILTON.com.
Happy Sewing!
