Here is your size chart displayed as a table:

If you’re looking for an everyday piece that’s fast, flattering, and flexible—this one checks the boxes.

Raglan sleeves give you the style without the struggle.
No easing at the shoulder. No pinning curves until your wrist cramps. Just clean seams that go in smoothly and wear beautifully.

But here’s where this pattern goes beyond basic: fabric choice transforms everything.

🧵 Fabric Considerations

For Intermediate & Advanced Sewists Who Want Options That Actually Matter

A Softer, Blouse-Like Look

Choose lightweight single knits in rayon challis, voile, chiffon, bamboo slub, or georgette.

You'll get fluid drape, elegant movement, and a sleeve that reads more boutique than “basics bin.”

A Casual Jersey or Elevated Sweatshirt

If you want a sweatshirt look—read this carefully:
Don’t use sweatshirt fleece. It’s bulky, and you’ll fight the cuffs.
Use a givight weight double knit OR jersey knit with 3–5% spandex, not too spongey. It will give you the structure you want, and the finish your machine can handle.

A Cleaner, Dressier Option

Skip the cuff. Extend the sleeve and finish with a double-needle knit hem. It’s minimal, polished, and still keeps the comfort.

This is the kind of pattern you’ll sew more than once—because it adapts to your fabric, your mood, and your season.

It doesn’t fight your machine. It doesn’t take days to finish.
And it leaves you with a result that actually looks like the image in your head.

🔍 Fabric Learning Note:

 ⛔ Don’t use “stretch fabrics” Just something that says “jersey”. Reason: You do not want stretch on the vertical that will weight down the drape. Only some stretch on the weft. Avoid modal, it’s too heavy for this look!!

• Provide a structured yet comfy fit

• Sleeves stay full around the wrist

• Ribbed cuffs or fabric cuffs help anchor the look

🪡 Neckline & Cuff Options

You have options:

• Use the included pattern pieces for neckline and cuff bands

• Or purchase pre-made ribbing for a sportier, polished finish

📹 Video 37 in the video library walks you through the French bias neckline method—perfect for elastane fabrics that can’t be pressed into submission.

⚠️ Construction Tip: Stay Tape is Your Friend

If your fabric doesn’t include spandex, be sure to stabilize the neckline with stay tape to prevent stretching. This is essential for keeping the neckline looking sharp wash after wash.

This pattern is perfect for weekend lounging, running errands in style, or (with the right fabric and by taking off the cuffs, or even enhancing the cuffs to 3”) you can dress up this jersey with a necklace and boots. Add it to your seasonal sewing list—you’ll want more than one in your wardrobe!
