I am excited to start this project. Can I get a copy of the sleeve extra tutorial please, and the front back of sleeve guide. I think I worked it out but would like to double check before I get started!

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

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.

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.

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 :)

Am I missing something?

Pattern description says sizes to 28/30 are included, but pattern says only to 20/22.

Hello, Thanks for picking up this error. The pattern does only go up to a size 20/22.

Easy and great fit for wider shoulders

I am a beginner and tried this free pattern. I absolutely love the fit. Sometimes raglan sleeves aren't fitting well on wider shoulders resulting in collard that is too wide. This is perfect, easy and quick to make. Enjoy!

Thank you!

Thank you for this lovely pattern. I can't wait to make it!

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.

Heidi • April 12, 2023

I used a very light weight pink blush linen. To add more volume I switched out the pleats to make pin-tuck pleats instead. Because this pattern has a fair amount of volume you can use a sheer linen and it not be too revealing. I also used a box pleat on each sleeve to make the sleeve more fitted.

Beautiful Pattern - truly a keeper!
