Hey there! I've got another exciting raglan T-shirt customization idea for you this week. I'm thinking we could explore more ideas using the leggings pattern next week—what do you say?
How about turning it into a cozy funnel-neck sweatshirt with a kangaroo pocket?
The other day, Kristin transformed the raglan T-shirt into a super cute sweatshirt for her son, and I couldn't be happier to see it! We've been tossing around similar ideas here at the studio. As Kristin mentioned, if you size up the raglan T-shirt pattern, it becomes a bit roomier, making it perfect for sewing with fleece or French terry fabrics. This way, it can easily be worn over other layers.
Kristin went for a classic sweatshirt look with ribbed cuffs and neck, and I absolutely love the V-neck rib detail she added!
To create the funnel neck, you'll need to modify the original neckband pattern piece. Start by extending its height to around 3-4 inches. Then, add extra height to include a fold-over casing for a drawstring. It should look something like this:
Once you've adjusted the pattern, sew the short ends of the revised neckband together to form a tube. Next, add buttonholes near the center front fold for the drawstring (if you're including one). Fold over the casing portion and stitch it to create the casing itself. Finally, attach the funnel neck to the raglan T-shirt's neckline, but instead of folding the neckband in half and stitching both edges (as per the original instructions), simply stitch the bottom edge of the neckband/funnel neck directly to the neckline.
Does that make sense? Let me know if you need further clarification.
For the kangaroo pocket, it's pretty straightforward. Decide on the desired size of the finished pocket—drawing it directly onto the front pattern piece helps visualize the scale. Add seam allowances, finish the pocket openings (you can fold and stitch them or use binding), and fold the seam allowances to the wrong side. Pin the pocket in place and stitch the top, bottom, and sides below the openings. I recommend doing this before stitching the side seams of the sweatshirt—it makes things much easier.
Here's how I'd style it for a girl. (Pretend the sweatshirt doesn't have that huge logo, okay? Instead, imagine it with an adorable kangaroo pocket.)
After these posts, don't you agree that such a simple pattern like the raglan T-shirt offers endless design possibilities? I can't wait to see what you all come up with! Show us your creations—I’m dying to see them.
Wishing you a fantastic Valentine’s Day and a great weekend ahead. Catch you next week!
