£16.50

Printed sewing pattern • Sizes UK 4–24 • Skill level: Beginner

The Rea Top Sewing Pattern by Dhurata Davies is a beautifully simple, oversized top designed for effortless everyday wear. With its relaxed silhouette, soft boat neckline and subtle details, this versatile pattern offers a modern take on a wardrobe staple.

The design features grown-on half sleeves that taper gently towards the cuff, creating a clean and flattering shape. An optional pleated cuff detail adds a quietly elegant finish, while the deep hem gives the garment a refined, contemporary feel. The loose silhouette allows fabric choice to take centre stage, making the Rea Top equally at home in softly draping linens, cottons and viscose fabrics.

Quick to sew and approachable for beginners, this pattern also offers opportunities to develop your skills through optional French seams and pleated cuff construction.

Perfect for:

Relaxed tops with a modern, minimalist aesthetic
Beginner sewists looking for an approachable garment project
