Chelsea — Linen Raglan Tee Pattern

Love this pattern! Super simple. Made up a couple! But DO make a muslin/practice piece first to identify any tweaks you need to make to fit your body. After making a muslin, I decided to: 1. Omit the pleats on the back so the neck is less snug, 2. Change sleeves to be a bit longer (to elbow) without cuffs, and 3. Increase bust by 1/2" on each side (total of 2") and hip 1" on each side (total of 4"), drawing a slanted line between the two points. Worked out perfectly for me!

Anyone else having trouble matching the curve of the sleeve to the curve of the armhole? The armholes are cut straighter.

This turned out so well, was quick, and was so easy! Would make again

I've made this in four different fabrics: IL019 Bleached-Sig finish, IL019 Allure, IL019 Blush, and IL019 Asphalt. On each, I omitted the cuff because I don't like cuffs, using a 1" hem instead. I also added 3" to the length because I'm a moldy oldie and think when you get to be my age, covering the body as much as possible is the best bet unless you want to make babies cry and dogs bark. This little top looks great under a jacket or by itself with a pair of pants. It's easy to make, comfortable and uses less than 2 yards of fabric. Perfect for Doggie Bag finds! I'll probably make more!

Downloaded and opened in Acrobat app. Attachment opens in pop-up window, not full screen. Layer function is not available, nor can I save the attachment to open directly. If there's a way to do this on a tablet, I wish you'd provide instructions. If not, it would be nice to know that up front, before wasting the better part of an hour trying. But thank you for the free pattern. I guess I'll just have to find a laptop to borrow.

I would like to make this tee without the pleat. Do I need to alter the pattern.? If yes, how? Thank you so much!

Hello, For this design we have included the pleats to make the neckline smaller. You may like to simply gather the extra fabric rather than pleat it. We also have a blog on adjusting necklines here: blog.fabrics-store.com/2018/04/24/patternmaking-easy-neckline-alterations/

I have been making bread bags and tea towels and love work with this fabric. I have several yards of various colors in my stash so thought I'd make this top. I did the download thing but I don't find an actual pattern. What am I missing here?

Hello, We have step by step tutorials for accessing the patterns here: support.fabrics-store.com/hc/en-us/sections/360000039523-PDF-Patterns If you're still having issues, please email us and we would be happy to help.

Thank you for the free download. I am looking forward to purchasing my fabric & getting started!

Before I download a sewing pattern, I like to look at the size chart and see how much fabric I'm going to need. Unfortunately, with Fabrics Store patterns, the size charts are nearly impossible to find. It would be so, so, so helpful if you would just include the size charts on each pattern's main page, along with a link to the sewing instructions. That way everything would be in one place and easy to find instead of having to play the "where is the thing I need?" game. It's frustrating.

Thank you for your feedback. We include the size charts inside the .pdf booklet so that you have your pattern, materials and sizing information all in one place.

Size came out just right and the fit is great! I spent a little extra time using french seams instead doing a zig zag finish on the raw edges. The tee is now my staple, if only it would make a few copies of itself ;)

I used this pattern to make a long sleeve tunic. It was so easy to sew and alter. I will do a short sleeve version soon.

I made this as it was 'beginner' level and embarrassingly I have to say I found it quite difficult - well mainly the neck part having never done that before! Luckily there are instructions for each part but I didn't find them very clear. I made the 8/10 and it came out really big and baggy but a nice shape.

Hi, does this pattern has a seam allowences? Could not find it. Thank you!

Yes, all seam allowances are included. They are 3/8" unless stated differently in the Tutorial on the Blog. Happy Sewing!

I just made this pattern out of polka dot cotton and it turned out terrific. The sizing of these patterns fit so much better than store-bought patterns. Thank you for creating so many patterns that I actually like! I

I was able to download the pattern and directions. Since I am not an experienced seamstress, I LOVE the tutorials as well and that they are noted in the directions. Thank you so much for this.

Found the size chart, its in the instructions

This is the first pattern I have downloaded from you and cannot wait to get started. I have been looking for something like this for a while. However I cannot see any size chart so how do I know what size to print?

Hola, No puede ver el patrón para imprimir. Solo me descargo las fotos, tallas ,etc.

I have made a few of the Chelsea and I love how easy it is to sew. I made a muslin first and altered it a bit. I have been using your linen and it fits perfectly! Thank you so much for the free downloads!

Thanks for the free downloads. I look forward to making this tee. Would like to say - the Layered printing feature is wonderful.

You have to download this to your hard drive and then open in acrobat. Look to the left. The pattern is on the left side. Click on it to open up the pattern -- 21 pages to print. DO NOT OPEN IN THE BROWSER. You will only get the 6 pages of instructions and NOT the pattern if you open the pdf in the browser. Took me a while to figure this out.

There are no instructions with the pattern? Thanks!

Good afternoon! This pattern is in conjunction with an online tutorial that has the step by step with photos. You can find the tutorial here - https://blog.fabrics-store.com/2018/05/08/linen-raglan-tee-tutorial/

I love this pattern. I had no problem printing out the right size and putting the pattern together. I found the tutorial very useful for how to do the cuffs and the neck binding. I made the pattern out of a poly crepe to test the fit first, and I love the look. Even with a shifting poly, this pattern was easy to put together and the result is gorgeous. The fit is nice and loose, but I may size down on the next one. Can't wait to make it this top again!

Very roomy. You learn a shortcut alternative to bias binding which I hate so yay easier methods. Quick way to get the cute cuff look too. It's a fun project that will likely fit most body types well.

I made this t shirt last week from some polyester fabric I was given some time ago. I just hemmed the sleeves because the fabric was too soft for the cuffs. It looks great and was very easy to make. I can see this pattern will be a favourite.

Have been wanting to use my linen fabrics for a summer top with sleeves! So glad to see this pattern. I'm going to make it up this coming week and will report back about how it fits etc. Giving it 4 stars until I see how it goes. There are no illustrations or instructions for this pattern, but as an experienced seamstress, I don't think I'll have any problems with construction. I will make a muslin first or at least compare the dimensions to the tee pattern (that is also available on this website). I did do a full bust adjustment to the other tee pattern, so I will be doing the same for this Ragland tee.

Hi - excited to hear you will be making the linen tee - there is a tutorial for it just in case you need it for reference https://blog.fabrics-store.com/2018/05/08/linen-raglan-tee-tutorial/. Looking forward to pictures!
