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.
Seam allowence
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!
Love this top. It's so easy and fast to.make. I have made some alterations to the sleeve, I didn't do the folding. I used a silky cotton fabric and it worked just fine.
I used IL09 medium wt. This is my first linen fabric project. Very fun to make. I accidentally cut a hole at the edge of the bodice-bust area with the serger machine; but fortunately was able to sew in a curve along the sides to cut out the "hole". With the provided ease, the trimmed version actually looks very nice on the body! Thank you for the pattern, will get more linen to make other garments available on this site!
I did this with long sleeves and tunic length.
I used IL019 FROTH softened-middle linen to make the CHELSEA LINEN RAGLAN TEE. Alterations- lengthened the sleeves by 1", added center front and center back seams, and made the hem high-low curve. Second time I've made this pattern. VERY pleased with the pattern design & instructions, and the blog tutorials! Thank You!
I made another one in mid weight linen. Forgot the pleats at the neck line. It is so comfortable. I even managed to get by with one meter of fabric. Thank you.
Love this top in off white linen. So versatile a top, dress up or down to suit the occasion. I love it. Thank you.
Easy to follow pattern. Though the sleeves took me a minute to figure out which side the longer edge matched to. I did up a soft cream linen, everything done but sleeves and hem, then didn't like the colour too much so started over in blue. Went much quicker the second time around even with some minor adjustments I made like using french seams (added extra at sleeve seams on cutting for this, but none on sides, took the sides from the A-line as that was plenty roomy). Added a lightweight Pellon to cuffs for a stiffer look and to hem just for easier handling. Pretty good for a day's work.
