Any suggestions about how to make the sleeves longer, i.e. 3/4 length? Thanks Iva

Hello Iva, i'd recommend looking for tutorials that are for drafting or lengthening "Raglan Sleeves". You could also use another patter as a guide for the shape and length you desire.

Bonjour à toutes, ce modèle ne comporte aucune ouverture dans le dos...pas de souci au niveau du passage de la tête? Merci pour votre retour. M. Bachelard

This neckline is wide enough to allow your head to slip through.

I am unable to download Chelsea or Augusta. I have downloaded patterns in the past. What's the problem? Clicked on DOWNLOAD and it does to the pattern, but does not download. Also, do you have projector ready patterns? I have purchased miles of your beautiful linens. It's great that you know have free patterns.

I am totally stumped about the sleeves on the Chelsea Tee pattern. I see that there is a PDF explaining the process. Could you please email me a copy? Much appreciated.

There are no markings to indicate which is the front and which is the back of the sleeves.

Ingrid • March 14, 2023

The back of the sleeve cap on this pattern will sit higher than the front. I will send you an email tutorial which has a photo showing this.

How would I simplify the neckline and eliminate the pleats? I made a practice top without the pleats and the neck was too wide. Thanks.

Leanne • November 13, 2022
Lauren profile image F|S Team

You may like to gather the neckline to spread the excess fabric which would usually be enclosed in the pleats. The gathers will be small and you could even gather the whole neckline to make them less obvious.

I'm trying to glue the cutout pages together but the numbers on the pages don't seem to match. How can the pages be adjusted to each other? TIA, Talia

Talia • September 14, 2022
Lauren profile image F|S Team

Hi Talia, our patterns are designed so the quarter circles in each corner will match up, making a full circle when assembled. If your pages aren't lining up, you may need to check your 2" test square on the first page of the pattern pieces.

Lauren • September 14, 2022

Hi! I'm having trouble finding the pattern itself - when I click on "download" it opens a six page PDF, but not the printable pattern. Am I missing something?

Marise • August 9, 2022

Please open the pattern in Adobe Acrobat Reader, then check the pattern 'attachments'. The pattern files are located there. If you need more help please see our Help Center tutorials or email our helpful staff.

Curve of sleeve doesn't match curve of the front/back

I had to fudge to make them come together- really not a match at all.

Easy Once You Fix the Sleeves

This was the first t-shirt I made and I found the pattern easy to put together and the tutorials very helpful. My biggest complaint is that the sleeves for larger sizes are made to taper which means that the cuffed edge does not work well. (I am a 16/18 and initially I made a 20/22.) If you leave this as is, it's a massive headache for a beginner to try and sort and immensely discouraging. It caused me to put my muslin away for weeks. It took me several weeks of my own puzzling and research to figure out what went wrong. And there are several people who have commented on the cuff tutorial post about this issue, but it still has not been resolved in the pattern. Once that was resolved, this was a very fun pattern to put together. But it makes me extremely wary of trying any of their other patterns.

An nice easy sew, with a well drafted raglan sleeve. Great tutorial instructions make the process straightforward. And all for free... what is not to love about that. Thanx for your generosity.

Quick and easy make

This was the first pattern I had tried from Fabric store and I loved it. Easy instructions and a lovely classic shape. I made it in a 50/50 cotton/linen mix.

Haven't even started, annoyed

The annoyance of downloading this pattern here and then having to search for a blog for the tutorial and then download that is too much. Please make everything available together, there is no point to add the pattern pieces as an attachment on the pdf where the original pdf has no sewing instructions.

Hello, Thank you for your feedback. In order to offer so many patterns for free, we had to keep the download size down. This is why we have kept the instructions over on our blog. Additionally, this has made it easier to constantly update and perfect these instructions without making any previous downloads stuck with errors. If you woudl prefer a pattern with an instruction booklet, we have a range of premium patterns you can purchase :)

I haven't sewn clothing in several years, so I was hesitant to get started again. I had purchased IL019 Bleached fabric several months ago, and last week downloaded the Chelsea pattern as it looked to be a fairly simple composition. I just finished the tee and am thrilled with the results. Your step-by-step instructions and photos were very helpful, as were the linked tutorials for making bias tape and cuffs. Now I feel much more confident about my next sewing project, thanks to y'all!

Virginia • October 30, 2023

Made size 4/6 in a light linen. Used bias binding for the neckline. Easy sew, great instructions. Will make again.

Charlotte • June 5, 2023

Here is the Chelsea pattern in IL020 Coral. The sleeves were shortened because I don't like cuffs and There is machine embroidery feather stitching along the raglan lines just for a heirloom suggestion.

Eva • May 9, 2023

The reviews of this pattern indicated some problems with construction, so I used some leftover fabric to do a mockup. The sleeve piece gave me a bit of trouble, but I evened the bottom edge to a shorter length and left off the cuff which I didn't like anyway. I didn't have enough fabric to make the bias neck binding, but I was able to cut 2/12" facing pieces using the outline of the neckline edges and scraps. They seamed together and fit the neckline perfectly. I forgot to put in the little neckline darts. It turned out so well that I finished it to wear with the 4c22 coral (out of stock) slacks. I now plan to make it in a piece of IL020 coral fabric I found lost in my stash and maybe some other IL020 pieces I have.

Eva • April 30, 2023

This is the Chelsea Raglan Tee made from IL019 in Wild Cherry.
