ABOUT ARCHIVE
Archive is a catalogue of printable PDF sewing patterns by independent designers
Archive was born from a desire to connect sewing pattern designers and sewers. It is a platform where creatives can find a large range of patterns and independent designers can showcase their designs. Archive is driven to advance the slow fashion movement. The pieces in the ever-expanding catalogue are all designed to last.
At Archive, we believe clothes are meant to live a long life, make you feel fabulous and are to be treasured. We encourage creating sustainable and ethical clothing with longevity. We hope to excite experienced sewers and inspire curious beginners to learn to sew.
Archive is a creative community hub
Aside from being a catalogue of digital sewing patterns, Archive is a space where fellow sewers and designers can connect. In the community section, you can find links to sewers and indie designers offering sewing techniques, workshops, slow fashion info and much more. At Archive, we want to inspire people to learn to create garments they can wear with pride and treasure forever.
