Meet Freddie — a sweet, easygoing sewing pattern with just the right amount of vintage charm.
Freddie is a versatile dress and top designed to be worn on repeat. With a relaxed fit, button-front opening, optional handy pockets, and a few different ways to make it your own, this is one of those patterns that can feel completely different depending on the fabric and details you choose.
Make it simple and understated, or add the oversized collar for a little extra personality. The top version features a gathered peplum that adds just the right amount of volume without feeling fussy.
The Freddie includes four views:
View A — Dress
A simple sleeveless dress with a relaxed, easy fit, V neckline, center-front button closure, and optional front patch pockets.
View B — Collared Dress
The same relaxed dress silhouette with an oversized rounded collar.
View C — Top
A cropped top with a gathered peplum and center-front button closure.
View D — Collared Top
The top version with the oversized rounded collar.
Freddie is designed to be an easy-to-wear piece that works across seasons — pair the dress with sandals in the summer, layer it over a tee when the weather cools down, or wear the top with your favorite jeans or trousers.
DETAILS
• 4 views: 2 dresses + 2 tops
• Relaxed, easy-to-wear fit
• Sleeveless design
• Center-front button opening
• Front patch pockets on dress views
• Gathered peplum on top views
• Oversized rounded collar option
• Layer-friendly and easy to style
This sewing pattern is for adventurous beginners! It requires techniques such bias binding, gathers, and buttonholes.
SIZES:
0-34, which correlates to Full Bust: 30"-65" Hip: 31” - 66”
WHATS INCLUDED:
Please note that you are purchasing a digital PDF sewing pattern, NOT a physical product. Upon completing your purchase, you will be provided with a link to download your PDF files once Etsy processes your purchase.
• Detailed instructions with clear illustrations
• Nested Print at Home Files (US Letter + A4 compatible) with layers
• Large Format File (A0/Copyshop)

FABRIC:
Freddie would be especially lovely in lightweight to medium-weight woven fabrics with enough drape to let the silhouette move and the gathered peplum fall nicely. Think cotton, linen, linen blends, chambray, cotton lawn, seersucker, or other light-to-medium weight woven fabrics.
Please see images for fabric requirement charts.
