• 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

Use the Rivage Raglan to create this cozy sweater.  Alter the pattern to straighten the hemline, cropping the length to end at your high hip.

To create the trim:

  • Use an ivory cotton/spandex jersey to create several yards of 1″ wide single-fold trim. Cut 2″ wide strips, then fold raw edges towards the center (wrong sides together) and press.
  • Topstitch the trim in place onto the vertical center of the sleeves before constructing the top.
  • On page 11, after step 2 of the pattern instructions — topstitch the ivory trim on top of the sleeve seam lines.
  • Also on page 11, after step 3 — add sleeve cuffs made with the ivory jersey. The cuffs should be 1″ finished width, the same length as the end of the sleeve (not stretched to fit).
  • Make the neckband using the ivory jersey. To recreate the inspiration look, you’ll need to widen the neckband piece (make it 3″ wide, so that the finished width will be 1″).
  • After hemming, attach more of the trim evenly around the bottom of the sweater. (It looks like about 2″ above the bottom edge.)
