The Syd Graham Patterns Syd Tie Top & Dress PDF Sewing Pattern is a versatile two-in-one sewing pattern designed to create either a loose, full-length top or a flowy, tiered mid-calf dress. With its signature front-tie closure, this easy-to-wear design can be customised with either a sleeveless finish or romantic 3/4-length puff sleeves.
Designed for confident beginners, the Syd Tie Top & Dress is an approachable sewing project with plenty of scope for personalisation. Choose a lightweight cotton or linen for an effortless everyday garment, or experiment with fabrics with more drape for a softer, more fluid look.
The digital sewing pattern includes detailed, beginner-friendly instructions with clear illustrations, layered print-at-home files, an A0 copyshop file, projector file and detailed video tutorials for both versions.
As a digital PDF sewing pattern, no physical paper pattern will be posted. Your files are available to download after purchase.

The Syd Tie Top & Dress works beautifully in woven fabrics with a moderate to fluid drape. Choose a fabric with some movement for a softer, flowy dress, or use a more structured woven for a slightly more sculptural silhouette.
- Light to medium-weight cotton
- Linen
- Cotton-linen blends
- Lightweight woven fabrics
Recommended fabric weight is approximately 3–7 oz per square yard. Stiffer fabrics can be used but may create a more voluminous or “poofier” result. Avoid knit fabrics with a lot of stretch, as they can make the binding construction more challenging.
To complete the Syd Tie Top & Dress you will need:
- Main fabric
- Matching sewing thread
- Sewing machine
- Iron
- Fabric scissors
- Pins or clips
- Fabric marking tool
