Merchant & Mills Workbook by Denham and Field

Sewing patterns and instructions for six classic garments to enable you to create a stylish multi-layered wardrobe from scratch. Full-size patterns are provided for

The Bantam - a neat vest with a boxer back detail

The Curlew - an elegant bias-cut long-sleeved dress

The Saltmarsh - a simple long gathered skirt with a drawstring waist

The Heron - a batwing wrap top

The Haremere - an oversized drop-shoulder jacket

The Strides - and a pair of classic wide leg trousers.

By choosing seasonal cloth, the versatility of these projects can be enjoyed from the first hint of spring to the end of winter.
The aim of this book is to move beyond simplicity and dare the maker to develop new skills. With variations for tops, dresses, shorts and a coat, the precise step-by-step instructions and inspiring photography will enable you sew with confidence. The reward will be an all season, multi-layer wardrobe by your own hand.
