Milk 185 European Laundered Linen
$55.00European laundered linen, tumbled at the mill for softness. Off white, more warm than Virgin white.
The 185 dressweight linen is our go to linen for all dress making and is what we use for many of our samples. It is a great match for all of our patterns, dresses, tops and loose fitting trousers.
This linen also works well for lighter curtains for a casual less refined look. Carolyn wears the Etta dress in Milk 185.
Produced in small batches in Eastern Europe where there is a strong heritage of spinning and weaving linen fabric.

Ecru 8oz Organic Sanded Twill
$49.00Ecru.
This organic cotton has a fine twill with a soft sanded finish on one side. It would be ideal for trousers, dungarees and dresses that require some structure ie not a gathered waist, as well as lighter weight jackets and bag linings. It has a utility look and feel to it.
Please note that this is a new quality from a different mill, so if you’ve received a sample or purchased previously it will be slightly different – softer, with more pile.

The Paynter
$26.00 – $32.00Paynter Jacket Co. make limited edition jackets four times a year that are made to order, so there’s no waste from over production. Their jackets are classic pieces that will stand the test of time and get better with age. The Field Jacket is Paynter’s first make-your-own jacket pattern in collaboration with Merchant & Mills.
All paper patterns will include two woven labels, one is to be positioned inside the jacket near the hip and the other is a smaller label for the back neck. The larger label has been designed by @hello.ludio. Lucie’s design features the sun and the moon to represent time and getting lost in the practice of making. These labels are only available in the paper pattern, not PDF, and won’t be sold elsewhere.
Need sewing help? We have made a You Tube video that takes you through the two trickier steps of the Paynter pattern, the placket and the hip pockets. You can view that video here.

Embroidery Add On
$8.00A PDF pattern for the front panel of the Honey dress.
The design is by Evie May Adams, and the embroidery for this sample was beautifully stitched by Becky Hogg.
For our version we used No 712 DMC Stranded Cotton x 2 with a No 7 embroidery needle. There are various methods you can use for transferring the design, which we’ve listed in the download. For our version we printed the design onto tracing paper, then covered the tracing paper in lots of layers of tailor’s chalk, this way you just draw over the reverse on the cloth and it pushes the chalk onto the cloth.
