The Clementine | Merchant & Mills

Designer: Merchant and Mills
Pattern Format: Printed Paper 
Size: UK 6 - 18
Difficulty: Intermediate

The Clementine from Merchant and Mills is a slim fitting jeans skirt with a back split and shaped waist band. This is a pattern for which we would advise making a toile first, firstly to adjust the fit if needed but secondly to familiarise with the pattern instructions. Merchant and Mills have not used a traditional run and fell jeans seam, they have chosen instead to topstitch the seam, which is easier to achieve on a domestic machine.

Recommended Fabrics: 8-12.5oz denim (up to 14oz with a heavy duty sewing machine).

Notions: 
Matching thread
7″ metal jeans zip
Jeans needle
Large eye sewing needle
Plain cotton fabric for pocket bags
Heavy duty contrast thread/top stitching thread
Matching standard contrast thread (to use in the bobbin)
1 x button approx 18mm
