It’s chilly and damp here in the Bluegrass today, so I spent my off time sewing up this cozy cowl neck raglan with my brand new Brother1034D Serger. This sweatshirt fleece from Hancock’s is very warm and fluffy and was a breeze to sew. It doesn’t have a whole lot of stretch, but for a non-fitted pattern like the one I used, it was perfect.
This is a tunic length Women’s Raglan from Pattern’s for Pirates (pattern can be found here) with the optional cowl addition. This is a great pattern for sewists with a basic knowledge but who are just learning the ins and outs of sewing clothing. I also love this one as a great stand by for all sorts of different styles and fabrications.
If you are new to sewing or just new to sewing clothing, the P4P patterns are a good place to start. The PDF patterns and tutorials are clear and easy to understand, and they also offer support through their blog and a facebook sewing group.
Happy sewing all!
