These designs are scattered throughout \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/merchantandmills.com\/blog\/the-grove\"\u003eThe Grove\u003c\/a\u003e, in different rooms and environments.

When designing the projects, I thought about simple makes for all skill levels, including those who maybe wouldn’t attempt to make their own clothes but could start with a cushion or a topper.
