WE ARE MAKERS. We made these clothes and we made this community #mmsocialclub Thank you so much to everyone who came to our 15th birthday party on Saturday; everyone who sent presents, messages and photos from afar and everyone who dressed up for the occasion (whether you were in Rye or on the other side of the world!)

Something new, just around the corner… A new pattern addition for the #mmfactory dress, completely re-imagined with a boat neck and a swishy, gathered skirt. We’re celebrating our fifteenth year by revisiting older patterns and celebrating their versatility. This is the first of many pattern additions and hacks you can expect to see this year. Our pattern cutter Hannah wears her Boat Neck Factory dress in Maeve Crinkle Japanese Cotton. #merchantandmills #merchantandmillsfabric #merchantandmillsp

Carefree colours give this season’s linen collection a fond nostalgia for days filled with playground chatter, daisy chains and hop skotch. In adulthood, play looks different but gives us the same sense of freedom: we explore, we experiment, we express ourselves. As makers, our play is our projects and the powerful sense of self expression that comes from wearing something that you’ve made.

How We Make Our Scrap Fabric Baubles. A fun way to use up even the smallest scraps in your stash. This super speedy, no-sew, #lessthanametre project is ideal for rainy afternoons in front of a Christmas film. Last year Lily made hundreds of these and hung them all over the Tower St shop. Afterwards we kicked ourselves for not doing a little tutorial because SO many of you asked how we made them. So here you go! You can use strips of any fabric. We’ve used laundered linen here (Joy, Hot Celery an

These first two British wools come from a mill in Lancashire. The large scale painterly checks showcase an array of beautiful colours: one palette of blues (Med Check) and one of autumnal leafy tones (Arboretum). The surface texture is soft and furry.

Most of us are not one size, our measurements might fall over several different sizes, but you can learn to adjust any sewing pattern to better suit your shape by blending between the different sizes given in your pattern. In this short tutorial, our Head of Pattern Development Hannah demonstrates one way in which you might blend between a size 12 and a size 16 to create a slightly narrower shoulder and allow more room in the bust.

Merchant & Mills on Instagram: "This Sunday, Katie will show you how to set your cloth up for success by pulling a thread. Before you start pinning out your pattern pieces and cutting your fabric, we recommend that you pull a thread to square off your fabric (especially when working with unstable fabric). We hope this technique is helpful for any Sunday sewists out there. #merchantandmills #sewing #sewinghowto #sewingtutorial #sew #beginnersewing #sewingtips"
