Lane Raglan

Hi friends!!  I wanted to share with you this Lane Raglan by Hey June.  I actually made this almost a year ago now.  My mom had requested something like this for Christmas and I thought I might like one too :)  I used some knit fabric that I ordered from Fabric.com (I think they were all Telio).

(sorry for the wrinkles - I wear this all the time)

I added the arm bands for a more sporty look.   To add them I cut lengths of the mustard knit 2.5" wide.  Then I pressed down 1/2" on each side.  After that I sewed them to each arm before I inserted them into the shirt.

My mom loved hers too!  I really love this pattern (I should make more!).  I wear it all the time and even as a pajama top from time to time.  Its such a quick sew and the fit is spot on.

I've been trying to be a bit more intentional about my sewing lately.  I used to sew whatever pretty thing I felt like, not considering what I actually wear in my day to day life.  Needless to say, I have a closet full of handmade dresses that I rarely wear.  It feels good knowing what I am making I will ACTUALLY wear.  I'm hoping to get some more raglans and sweatshirts made before it gets chilly here.  After I get my daughter's Halloween costume made of course ;)

So here's to comfy clothes we actually wear!! 

Seneca Skirt

I rediscovered it while cleaning out my closet and I am so glad that I did!!  I think I used either a Robert Kaufman laguna jersey or an Art Gallery jersey to sew this up.  As the pattern had promised it was a super quick sew!

It of course has pockets!!  It also features godet panel at the side seams which really elevates the style in my opinion.  Oh and its comfortable (secret pajamas)!!

My top is from Free People from last year I think and my clogs are Swedish Hasbeens.

Thanks for stopping by!!
