    The Grove Creations by Merchant & Mills

    $31.00

    The Grove Creations PDF bundle is a set of 4 PDF patterns to make for the home. This project came about when we were renovating the Merchant & Mills house in Rye (The Grove) and wanted to use our fabrics but within a home setting. Your PDF includes:

    Duvet Set

    Instructions for making two duvet sets, one with concealed buttons and one with ties. Matching pillow slips, again either with buttons or ties. Included are options for single, double, king and super king. We recommend using an extra wide linen (280cm), but we have included a formula if you are using narrower fabric.

    Pillowcase

    Instructions for making a simple pillowcase with a deep envelope. Ideal as scatter cushions for the bed or sofa.

    Quilt & Sofa/Bed Topper

    Instructions for making a quilt or a topper for a bed or sofa. We designed this quilt as an ideal way to showcase our laundered linens, it’s very fun picking the combinations! The toppers are ideal for covering a sofa that your dog might want to keep jumping on, or toppers for wooden benches like we have in the pictures. The topper is made using self made fabric ties, and the quilt is made with lots of ties of linen thread. But these techniques can be interchangeable.

    Relaxed Blind

    Instructions for making a simple draped roman blind. This type of blind is a more modern take on a traditional roman blind and very much suits a laundered linen for an informal look. The PDF includes a link for where you can buy all of the little sundries for making this blind.
