The Dreamer Shirt is a relaxed fit, pull on top which, unlike most shirts, has no closures. You can choose between three sleeve options – short, semi-cap and long. There are also two pocket options – breast and hip. Additionally, there is a gentle, unisex, hi-lo hem.
The Dreamer is a quick sew suitable for enthusiastic beginners. Light, woven (non-stretch) fabrics are perfect for this pattern. An overlocker will create the neatest finish but importantly, a regular sewing machine is all you need for all options.
The pattern goes from 0-3m right up to Age 12.
This listing is for 4 downloadable PDF files: Instructions, a print-at-home pattern, a copy shop pattern and a projector pattern.

I absolutely love this pattern, especially for summer shirts. It’s light and airy enough for our mid-summer heat and it has an option to add pockets which has rapidly become a must for every clothing item I make. My daughter is fairly slim so I mixed sizes a bit but the instructions were really helpful in figuring out how to blend the length and width that I needed.

This shirt is adorable and instructions are detailed and easy to follow. even for a beginner! The fact that it has pockets is great for kids, we all know how much they love hiding their treasures 🙂 I also love that there is a projector version and layers in all versions as well!

This is such a good pattern. I made my son a lengthened version in linen. It’s great for running around in and climbing trees. He can find trousers and shorts quite restrictive in the hot weather (he’s 4).
I lengthened it to mid calf and it’s the perfect androgynous fit that allows his complete freedom when tearing all over the fields. I love the option for the rolled up sleeve. He’s since put in requests for more.
