We're delighted to have just taken delivery of the new capsule range of menswear sewing patterns by Merchant and Mills. 

The t-shirt is probably the most popular garment in the world and we love how Merchant and Mills have combined a woven fabric with ribbed neck trim detailing to give a contemporary look to this style.

Next up is The All State Shirt, this short sleeved boxy shirt is inspired by the American styling of the fifties. In keeping with its heritage, make it in cotton or linen for a casual look.

And last, but by no means least, there's the Foreman Jacket, this style is inspired by the workwear of the early fifties. The practical and hard-wearing Foreman is an unlined, utilitarian jacket made to take charge!

Our Knicker Making Kits flew out at a recent event, so we're pleased to have got new stock in of our best selling styles plus 3 new designs including the bird print in both blue and grey; and a black based contemporary floral design, all shown below.

At just £15 they make a fabulously fun sewing gift for your creative friends and family!

These lovely recycled brown kraft presentation boxes printed with our logo are perfect for creating your own individual gift for the dressmaker or "sewist" in your life.

 Why not select two Merchant & Mills or Colette sewing patterns and we'll tie them with gingham ribbon, free of charge! Simply state your preferred colour in the comments box at the checkout; choose from Red, Black, Green or Grey and we'll do the rest.  

Alternatively, select a range of sewing accessories specifically for the "sewist' in question, please note this box is suitable for all our notions with the exception of the Merchant & Mills Lace Pins and Tailors Wax.

Whatever you decide on it's sure to make the perfect gift!
