Floral Raglan



It's Spring time so let's bring out all the florals!

I made this raglan style baseball tee a few weeks ago. I used a floral ponte from fabric.com for the body. It's lovely but pilling already. Oh well. I'll wear the heck out of it. Any good tips on trimming those little fiber nubbies down? And I used this red ponte for the sleeves.

I used V8670 for like the 5th time. I love this pattern though... so it won't be my last. I straightened the side seams instead of curving them in for a more relaxed fit. Shortened the sleeves by about 3." And I also lowered the neckline by 1.5-2" and cut my neck band longer to accommodate the lowered neckline.

Love how this top turned out. It's comfy, cute, and perfect for Spring!

  1. I love this idea! The contrast sleeves go so well with the floral. The perfect raglan sweater.

  2. I love the fabric you chose! I always ooh and ahh over the stuff on fabric.com but shipping for even 1 metre of fabric to where I live is $25... :/ For the nubbie stuff, people always talk about fabric shavers, a little comb thing that gets rid of them?
