All Well is a creative sewing studio producing simple, intuitive, and super-hackable sewing patterns written with sewists of all skill levels, from never-sewn-before to super-advanced, in mind. We make the kinds of sewing patterns that can be sewn over and over without feeling redundant – often releasing Hacking Guides with our patterns to create room for lots of creativity as sewists approach the pattern. You can see this approach in action in our best-selling pattern + hacking guide, the All Well Box Top.

All Well is also committed to helping sewists at all levels learn and stay curious about the craft, making sewing skills accessible, modern, playful and useful. Besides patterns, we’re making creative and beautiful learning resources for sewists like zines, prints, tutorials, and other learning tools like videos and blog posts.

All Well’s sewing patterns are a collaboration between Amy Bornman and Amelia Greenhall. Amy started the studio as a slow-fashion business in 2018, and met Amelia on Instagram in 2019 when they struck up a conversation. Because both wanted to learn how to make sewing patterns, Amy and Amelia decided to learn how by producing one of Amy’s designs together – All Well’s first sewing pattern, the All Well Bucket Bag. Their experiment in working together grew into a lively collaboration. Amy is All Well’s designer, and she runs the business and communication and creates the content that All Well puts out. Amelia is All Well’s publisher and editor, mostly working on producing the patterns! Together, from across the country, Amy and Amelia write instructions and develop the patterns, solve problems, make plans for what patterns and materials are coming next, navigate the twists and turns of creative small business – and also have fun talking about sewing and life and the world over facetime.

Our sewing patterns come to you as pdf files that you download and print at home on normal paper, then assemble like a puzzle, or print on big paper at a copy shop. Each pattern comes with a fully-illustrated instructions booklet full of all of the information you need to sew the pattern, plus lots of helpful tips, information, and diagrams. Our garment patterns also come with a hacking guide full of sewing skills, fit-adjustment guides, and ideas for how to create even more variations of the pattern. All of our patterns are rigorously tested by sewists across all skill levels, and our garment patterns are fit-tested across our full size range. We are constantly considering our process, and thinking about how to make our patterns more approachable, inclusive, comprehensive, and fun to use.

We think sewing with gusto (!) is a way of connecting to the confidence, bravery, and thoughtfulness in your life. A way to feel at home in your body and with the things you use daily (like clothes! and bags! and things in your home!), to find new appreciation for the detail in fabric and construction and the way things go together and are connected to everything else. For us, we’ve found that the confidence from building new skills and wearing comfortable clothes spills over into the rest of life: helping to bring clarity about what we want and how we want to show up and contribute to the world and our own circumstances. Hopefully you find some of that in All Well. We’re really glad you’re here.
