The Merchant and Mills Maker’s Journal is a dedicated space to document your creative evolution.
For any sewist, a project is more than just the finished item; it is a journey of fabric choices, pattern adjustments, and lessons learned along the way.
This journal is designed to capture all of that in one organised and beautiful place. It features structured pages that allow you to record technical details like measurements and needle types, alongside ample space for sketching designs and attaching fabric swatches.
The maker’s journal is a concertina sketch book using heavyweight 170gsm paper in double thickness – with a portfolio slip-on case.
By keeping a record of your makes, you create a personal archive that is both a practical reference for future projects and a sentimental keepsake of your handiwork. The journal itself is produced with the characteristic Merchant and Mills aesthetic—understated and durable.
Whether you are tracking a complex tailoring project or a simple summer dress, the Maker’s Journal helps you stay organised. It makes a thoughtful gift for any maker looking to refine their craft through reflection and careful documentation.
