Workwear, Timeless Sewing Patterns for a Practical Wardrobe by Carolyn Denham for Merchant & Mills
Working clothing that is clean, simple and practical.
Merchant & Mills' latest book presents five complete patterns. In genderless sizing from XS-XXXL, they illustrate the eternal relevance and versatility of traditional workwear shapes and detailing. These simple everyday garments are clothes not fashion, living outside the fast and careless, trend-led landscape.
Merchant & Mills has explored the concept and designs within the book through conversations with makers of varying disciplines, from weaving to wood turning. These makers model the patterns and tell us a little of their story and their craft. The reader can view their fabric choices and interpretations of the patterns and in turn formulate their own.
The book includes the 5 full-size patterns and variations; Blazer, Chore Jacket, Drawstring Trousers/Shorts, Shirt/Shirt Dress, Mail Bag. In each chapter talks through the cloth used and offers tips and advice on handling and finishing. This is not a beginner’s book but nor is it advanced. It’s a handbook of staple makes and satisfying techniques, sure to become a well-thumbed companion to any maker’s handmade wardrobe. A QR code providing access to digital, pdf, versions of the patterns, as well as the full-size paper versions included with the book.
