Dhurata Davies Rea Top

Buy the Rea Top sewing pattern from Dhurata Davies Patterns. The Rea Top is an oversized, easy-to-wear top with a soft boat neckline, grown-on half sleeves, and a deep hem. The sleeves taper gently at the cuff and can be finished with an optional pleated trim. 

Simple and quick to sew, the Rea Top is perfect for beginners – yet with optional French seams and a pleated cuff trim to try, there's plenty of room to push your skills a little further too. A relaxed shape lets your fabric take centre stage, making it an effortless piece for everyday wear.
