This fourth edition of Free Pattern Friday features a free dress pattern that is made from just two rectangles of fabric!
Rooney Clothing has included a printable PDF and YouTube tutorial, so it’s perfect for beginners.
It’s the ideal project for new sewers who want to use up some thrifted textiles or fabric from their stash!
Just a heads-up—some of the links in this blog post are affiliate links, which means I may earn a small commission (at no extra cost to you) if you make a purchase through them. These commissions help support my work so I can continue bringing you free sewing tutorials, tips, and inspiration.
Thank you for being part of this creative journey.
Happy sewing! ✨

About this Free Dress Pattern
This is the perfect dress to throw on in the hot summer months. The oversized fit is great for layering, pregnant women, to wear as a nightgown, or just around the house. It includes directions for pockets, tiers or tucks, thin straps, and a ruched bodice. It’s super affordable if you thrift vintage textiles, too!
The tutorial includes a printable PDF guide if you prefer to look at photos as you create this dress. Rooney Clothing has also created a full video tutorial with detailed instructions and steps on how to measure yourself for the perfect fit.
➡️ EDIT: Rooney Clothing has since updated the tutorial! You can find a new version below –

Why I love this pick –
I haven’t had the chance to sew this pattern yet, but I know it would be perfect for any level sewist. It’s roomy and can be made from so many different kinds of fabric. Courtney has also created a tutorial using two pillow cases for little girls. Mommy and me matching set, anyone?
