Merchant and Mills – the prettiest pins in the box

My sewing skills aren’t anything to boast about. I’m pretty good at cushion covers and Christmas stockings and I absolutely love my John Lewis Mini Sewing Machine, but when it comes to dressmaking, I’ve never been brave enough to try. But, if there’s one website to make me even consider giving it a go, it would have to be Merchant and Mills.

Not only do they have some of the loveliest patterns I’ve seen but they also have the prettiest packs of buttons and pins I could ever wish to own.

So if you fancy yourself as a bit of a dressmaker or if a box of pins could quite easily make you smile, then have a look. They’re absolutely gorgeous.
