I told you I was crushing on Ottobre lately. I just made this raglan top. The fit is very loose but it’s just like it shows in the magazine. The sleeves are called saddle sleeves. I’m not sure if that’s a different kind of raglan variation, or if that’s what the term translates to.
This is definitely a tuck-in shirt for me. The sleeves are very long. Most Finnish people are taller than me so that makes sense. I’m average height for an American woman. I could probably take a whole inch off the sleeves and it would be better. Although, I do like long sleeves.
You can see how long and unfitted this is. I used the size 34. I did make my standard 1” above the bust alteration. There are some wrinkles there so maybe I don’t need that Ottobre? More tests are needed. Oh darn.
I really like the curve of the raglan, excuse me, saddle sleeve.
This raglan t-shirt is the same basic pattern as these three patterns. Two are cardigans, and one is the cute sweatshirt. I’m totally making that. Did you see Kathy’s version? I love it! See how Ottobre releases things and repeats elements? I like this cute pocket. I’m not sure what to call it.
Eek, I still need to make my September Burda. I am so behind!!! And I want to start my Jalie hoodie too!
