Notches Sinai Top and Dress

Buy the Sinai Top and Dress sewing pattern from Notches. Sinai is an effortlessly stylish A-line top or dress you can customise to suit your personal style. With multiple options to play with — a round or V-neckline, four strap finishes (ties, buttons, elastic, or plan and simple), and three lengths — Sinai is the ultimate mix-and-match project.

Wear Sinai as a flirty summer top, a short everyday dress, or an elegant maxi dress. Add side slits for extra movement and pockets for practicality. The deep scoop back adds a touch of sophistication, and optional centre seams offer a fun way to incorporate topstitching.

Whether you're heading to the beach, layering over a turtleneck in the fall, or sewing your first garment, Sinai adapts to your wardrobe and your sewing level.

Sewing level: Confident beginner

This sewing pattern is available to buy in the following formats:

– PDF (available to download immediately after purchase). What is a PDF?

– PDF pattern + Printed A0 copy shop (We print out the A0 pattern sheets, but you’ll need to download the digital instructions, as we don’t print these. The PDF files will be emailed immediately after purchase, and the A0 pattern sheets will be dispatched next working day). What is Copy Shop?

Note if purchasing copy shop printing: Some of the pattern pieces have been split (to fit on the A0 sheets) and will need to be joined together.

Suggested fabrics: The look of your Sinai will depend on the fabric you choose. Drapey woven fabrics like viscose, tencel, or crepe will give it a fluid, elegant feel. If you go for something more structured, like denim, corduroy, or canvas, the A-line shape will have more volume — perfect for a transitional or autumn pinafore. Lightweight cottons, linens, or blends also work beautifully.
