Sewing a Lane Raglan with Spoonflower’s New Fleece

April 13, 2016

Have you tried our cozy new Fleece yet? Operations Supervisor Paula stops by the blog to share her experience sewing up a Lane Raglan tee by Hey June Handmade with our versatile new fabric. Who has time to print, cut, tape and pin a PDF or paper pattern? Ain’t nobody got time for that! Paula used Sprout Patterns to sew up a soft, comfy Raglan tee in record time. Check out her pro tips and see how easy it is to sew your own!

Paula: I have never fallen for a pattern quite as quickly as I did for the Lane Raglan. It’s only March but (including this one) I’ve already made three of them this year. It’s a quick pattern to sew and can be made with a variety of fabric weights to give you a nice regular shirt (if you use Modern Jersey or Cotton Spandex Jersey) or now you can use our brand new Fleece to make a cozy sweatshirt! Just how cozy is this new Fleece you ask? I would describe wearing this sweatshirt as getting an eternal hug from my best friend. It’s just so nice and comfortable.

A perfect project for knit-wary beginners, the Moneta dress is super simple to stitch up, not to mention versatile, comfortable and form-flattering on any shape. Check out how Theresa used Sprout Patterns and Spoonflower’s new Cotton Spandex Jersey to sew the dress of her dreams in one afternoon.

Silky Faille is an elegant fabric that drapes beautifully and is appropriate for a variety of different projects. When printed, this 100% polyester fabric features crisp, deep color that holds up great in the wash. The soft touch of Silky Faille makes it ideal for clothing, such as dresses, blouses and scarves. Pillows and drapes are also a great way to take advantage of the fabric’s perfect weight and flow. Take a peek at some projects that we made using this great new fabric!
