• Raglans are a great way to use up knit scraps when you don't have enough to make a full garment. Here the pink is left over from some Skye Joggers I sewed, and the floral is from a Sora Sweater. Together they make a great #RivageRaglan.
  • I love how the colors in @kristinesews’ outfit are all picked up in her fabulous shoes! And how she shows off what a great layering piece the #shorelineboatneck can be.
  • Love this flat lay @sweeterthancupcakesblog shot of her #PeppermintPJs that showcases the gorgeous print she used on the shorts 😍
  • Love this #EsmaTop by @koetiquemade - I don't wear stripes often, but when I do I prefer vertical stripes!
  • Ankle length or calf length, the #SkyeJoggers are always part of my wardrobe! On the left they're sewn in bamboo fleece which is warm and soooooo soft, on the left they're in lightweight French terry. Both styles have deep pockets because we've all got stuff to carry.
  • What is the best fabric you ever bought on impulse? This sweater knit I used to make a Blanc T-shirt with the sleeves from the hack pack and an added cowl neck might be mine.
  • If you're getting ready to root for your team at the Super Bowl, might I suggest a #JuniperJersey like this one from @parrishplatz ? Not that I'm a die hard fan of either team, but one of the two does have a player that played at my husband's high school and then went on to play for my alma mater, so I think we have a favorite in our house.
  • Love this family jammies shot by @loveyousew_ who used the #PeppermintPJs pattern to make her pants (with the piping). 😍 Perfect for a lazy Sunday.
  • This floral #RivageRaglan by @heide_apronhistory is a great compliment to her lovely cardigan. 😍
  • Aren't vintage sewing supplies just the prettiest? Hope you have a great weekend!

Sew This Look with Rivage Raglan

In our Instagram feed, we sometimes share RTW (ready-to-wear) looks that we come across that would be easy to recreate with a Blank Slate Pattern.

Sew This Look with Blank Slate Patterns

It would be easy to use the Rivage Raglan pattern to recreate this look.

  • Straighten out the hemline on your pattern piece.
  • Use a sweatshirt fleece or french terry knit for the pattern, with the wrong side for the main body pieces.
  • For the sleeve and body hems, turn the fabric to the right side of the garment instead of the wrong.
  • For the diamond-shaped elbow patches, sew those onto the sleeves while flat! The ones on here are a good size — I’d say you could make the patch width about 40% of the width of your sleeve at the elbow, and a little taller than wide.
    If you want to double-check the placement of the patches before final stitching, pin or baste them in place after step 2 on page 11. Then, sew step 3 with basting stitches, try the garment on, then adjust if needed.
