When I need my sewing to be soothing and meditative, I turn to patterns that I’ve sewn before, in fabrics and styles that I know will work in my wardrobe because they are tried and true.  I’ve sewn three of those types of garments in the past month.  This one is the Sew House Seven Remy Raglan.

Each time I’ve made this I’ve chosen the view with the centre front seam and opening. Not that I ever have to undo the button to get the top over my head!  I found a vintage yellow button in stash that goes nicely with the colours in the print.

There are a few different options in this pattern. From their website: The Remy Raglan has two front options and three sleeve options, all of which are compatible with both fronts.
Version #1 is a plain front
Version #2 features a split center and keyhole button closure
Short sleeves are meant to be worn rolled up and require fabric with no obvious wrong side
3/4 length sleeve gives more sleeve length
Gathered bracelet length sleeve is new to this pattern; if you have an older copy and would like to access this sleeve it is available as a free download

I altered the straight 3/4 sleeve pattern by slashing it mid-way and adding around 2 inches in length. I also extended the cuff turn-back at the hem of the sleeve so that I could do a wider hem that I hoped would look better when the sleeves were rolled up.

The fabric is a printed linen blend left over from when I sewed a Vali dress last year. It’s from Super Cheap Fabrics. It’s a fairly stiff fabric but is softening up more with repeated washing. I really like the colours and shapes in the print. I’m wearing my Remy Raglan with Stokx Square pants – I love these jeans! I have another pair cut out and fabric earmarked for a third pair. They’re a shape and style that are working really well for me at the moment.
