Carolyn Denham in RyeZine
March 27, 2022
Carolyn Denham founded Merchant and Mills in 2010 with a vision to encourage sewing and a connection to what we wear, by providing the patterns, fabrics and tools for customers to make their own garments. Offering, as she says 'a viable, wearable alternative to the increasingly indistinguishable options of the high street,' a sentiment we concur with - opting out of the fast fashion frenzy in favour of timeless appeal.
Based in a warehouse in Rye, there is a shop with a mezzanine floor for sewing classes, and a project in the works to create a Merchant and Mills house for people to look around for inspiration, so they can make curtains, bed spread or blinds as well as clothing!
We recommend reading the full interview with Carolyn on RyeZine, it's really interesting, and you can find out more about Merchant and Mills here.

A Visit to Charleston
Charleston was home to Bloomsbury Group artists Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant, renowned for their paintings and design work, and original thinking in all aspects of everyday life.
The house is famed for its decor - hand painted from top to bottom by the artists, who beautifully designed each others bedrooms. It is such a unique place, and you can tell it was done for their own enjoyment and use - rather than being about impressing others.
