Sinai is an effortlessly stylish A-line dress or top that you can tailor to suit your personal style. With multiple options to play with — including a round or V-neckline, several strap finishes (ties, buttons, elastic, or clean and simple), and three different lengths — Sinai is the ultimate mix-and-match project.
A summer top, short everyday dress, or elegant maxi length dress. Add side slits for extra movement or keep it simple and streamlined. The deep scoop back adds a touch of sophistication, and optional center seams offer a fun way to incorporate topstitching or make the most of solid-colored fabrics.
Whether you’re heading to the beach, layering over a turtleneck for fall, or sewing your first garment, Sinai adapts to your wardrobe and your sewing level.
Recommended Fabrics
This is a versatile pattern that can be made with a range of fabrics for different looks. For a soft and flowing result choose fabrics with drape like viscose or crepe. If you're looking for a bolder silhouette you can use denim, corduroy or cotton canvas--this will work especially well if you want a structured pinafore to wear over a shirt or tee. Lightweight cottons and linens are ideal for summer.
Supplies and Notions
Thread
Depending on the variation and fabric you choose, you will also need fusible interfacing, elastic and buttons.
Sizing
EU 34-62; UK6-34; US 2-30
Level of Difficulty
Perfect for confident beginners. Start with a simple top or dress with tied straps, then challenge yourself with pockets, slits or more detailed strap finishes.
