Dear Sewing Friends, in this video I would love to guide you through my process of drafting raglan shirt without starting with a base/pattern block (the usual way of drafting raglan sleeves, or any other sleeve variations). Please remember to make a test garment - I don't always mention this in my videos as I assume you had adapted this best practice. Especially if you're new to sewing or trying out a new design - doing a test garment is a way to reduce stress, experiment and find what works for you!

Thank you Thoughtful Creativity for providing this video, I had asked in the comments section for this and I appreciate it! 👍
Thank you! Love all three of your tops and can't wait to make one myself.
I'm very lucky. I've been looking for how to make this pattern everywhere and finally I found it in this video. Thank you Alisa 🙂

She is simply incredible! Great job
The woven top is so pretty! I must try it too.
What a great tutorial! Thank you for sharing. Love watching your videos x
Wow Alisa, I am very much thankful to you. This is far easier than your other raglan pattern making. ❤
Wow! That’s so much valuable information…just wow!
Thank you thank you thank you! I was planning on making a raglan top next and wanted to make one with voluminous sleeves. Thank you so much for this video ❤️
Thank you for sharing this information,loved it and loved how you explained every detail. Thank you so much again.
Thank you very much for teaching.🙏🙏🌺🌺🌺
Thank you for your tutorial’s
Thank you so much!!! I love this tutorial!! Going to be doing this soon!!
Wonderful tutorial. Thank you!
Hi Alisa!! Wonderful tutorial on such a lovely top.. Raglan sleeves are fun & easy.. Thank you for taking the time to show us this.. Deeply appreciate it so much….
💜💜💜🧵🧵🧵
Love the dress version .. I have a Burberry fabric will make one with that one 🎊🎊🎊🎊❤️❤️❤️
You really are brilliant! Such clear instructions. Thank you so very much for teaching how to make this raglan sleeve shirt. I've just discovered your tutorials and now am hunting for them all ! I am learning so much! Thanks again!!!
i love all your videos.. thank you its always beautiful and very helpful 💕
Omg, I did it! Thanks so much… it’s the first time I’ve made anything out of a stretchy knit fabric, first time I’ve drafted my own pattern… and I also followed your neckband video for that part. I’m blown away by your excellent instructions and my own handy self! 🤩
Yay! Give yourself a good pat on the back - you did it! Here's to more Happy Sewing :)
Awesome video!! I found a piece of lightweight fleece that is perfect for this design. Thank you so very much!!
Great tip! Use gridded wrapping paper to draft patterns 😃
Another great informative video! Love it! 😀
Raglan is my favorite style sleeve
Wow! You always have the BEST, and most clearly presented, Pattern Videos! Thank you! thank you! Thank you!
Worth the wait! Thanks
:)
So awesome to hear! Hope you enjoyed it! :)
I so enjoy your videos! They are informative. I have sewed most my life, but never tried to draft my own pattern from only my measurements. I did use a boy's and men's pattern to make a tuxedo for a child many years ago.
Thank you so much ❤❤
Very preppy wanting make it
Love this!
Great Job on the tutorial, I think am motivated enough to try it!🤗
ThankYou ❤
Wow! Wonderful!!
I see myself doing the woven one with my Burberry fabric 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌❤️❤️👋
Dear Elisa I really enjoyed your words to learn pretty good English
Thank you ❤️❤️❤️ teacher😘
Thank you for your tutorial it's very easy to understand. ❤❤❤😊. I'm so inspired to go ahead and try drafting one, using your guideline.
Very nice. Thanks for sharing.
Brilliant video, I will definitely be doing this one!♡
Great tutorial! I love the way you thoroughly explain things. But my favorite thing about you is that you link to previous techniques already covered saving time! I'm an impatient person (sorry) and you ate the perfect teacher for someone like me. Thank you so much ❣
Linda, that is exactly (you're spot on) the direction in which I am heading with all of my tutorials. That's one of the reasons I do more details technique videos, so that I can refer to them and not do it over and over and over again in every single video, as these videos take about 30 hrs to put together, every single thing matters, and this makes it easier and more logical to put together. That way it also promotes certain independence in choosing the seam finish or the type of hem for your own personal project :)
And I love when she says, “if I can do it, you can do it too.” How encouraging is that??!!!
So easy way to draft
The tutorial is so detail and clear
So great tutorial.Can follow it easily
Really like it and thanks for sharing
Very good and nice
Foarte frumos explici! Felicitări pentru tot ce faci!!!
Corte perfeito! Caimento maravilhoso!!!!! Solucionou minha dúvida quanto a manga raglam!!!!❤️👏👏👏👏👏
Beautiful top.
Thank you for another great instructional video. Am making a jacket (fleece outerwear) and wanted to make a raglan sleeve for it. Had drafted the bodice pieces and found your tutorial very helpful to create the sleeves. I see that you use the armhole curve one would most likely draft for the back to construct both front and back bodice pieces. And appreciated the way to widen at the biceps should they need to be adjusted for ease. And now I can cut out my pattern and get sewing!
I LOVE your plaid/woven top!! I made a muslin of it but found it needed to be fitted; BADLEY🙄. Pretty please, 🙏🏻 could you do a tutorial about fitting a muslin (where to let out/take in to improve a raglan fit or whichever…?
Thanks!
Thank YOU so much! Really Appreciate it!
Hi! Thanks for sharing! I don't know how to sew, but I would like to make a patient hospital gown for my mom using flannel to keep her warm. Im going to use this video as a reference. Thanks again!
Top daily thanks for sharing👍😍
Thank you so much madam from italy ..❤️❤️❤️❤️💐💐💐💐🙏🙏🙏
I was just about to ask you “where did you get your beautiful blouse?!” in your last video lol. You are brilliant! I can’t wait to make this, thank you ! 🍁🍁🍁
برافو فعلا
Thank you sooooo much for this, when I was little I LOVED these raglan tops but never knew the name if it🙈😁 but I love this very much hopes it can work with me😊
Raglan sleeves are super comfortable, especially when you're a kid, to move around! I make about 70% of raglan sleeve tops for my daughter as that is more comfortable for her.
Olá gosto muito do seu canal sou sua inscrita brasileira gostaria muito de ver as legendas em português o recurso do tradutor pra português é difícil de aplicar .seria possível que vc usasse algum recurso pra traduzir seus vídeos seria mais fácil mais mesmo assim tento ver todos os vídeos em português obrigada pelo conteúdo está me ajudando muito parabéns pelo canal.
Wow fabulous tutorial Alisa thank you so much for all your hard work! I never feel like anything is scary as you explain so well 😍xx
Aww, that is so awesome to hear! I am trying to get everyone to that point, when it is not scary, but exciting to try, to do, to sew it up :)
You make it look so simple. Now I must make raglan tees... they are my favorite anyway. I’m getting a serger for Christmas 🎄 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Now have you done a video on how to shop for appropriate knits... I love pinks. If I could have a whole wardrobe of pinks, whites and neutrals I would! This makes that possible
Laurie, hi! So glad you found this useful! I have ton of helpful video about fabric and where to shop for it and how to choose it for your project, just go to my channel and have a look :)
The plaid in the long-sleeve blouse looked like it was even....could you maybe do a tutorial on matching up even plaids at the seams? Thanks -- you're the best!!!
I had a hard time making the back piece of the sleeve because I didn't understand how to do it like the front piece. But other than that thank you it was pretty simple to understand. I'll come comment again after I make it to let you know if it worked out
I love this. Is there any way you can teach us how to make buttons to the top/ shirts I’m sure you can help me learn an easiest way 😌
❤👍
Ooo would you have an instructional to take in a raglan sleeve? I bought a really cool men's raglan sleeve all weather coat, and even with my Joan Crawford shoulders, it looks ridiculous. I also changed the buttons to brightly coloured big buttons, all of them different, to make it more funky/girly/punkish.
❤
Thanks for sharing i really appreciates your tutorials
You are a wonderful teacher! I am making my second pajamas set using your videos, they are so clear. I have one question, how do you determine sleeve length for the pattern? 😊
Thank you! I have been looking for a tutorial on how to draft these sleeves. A few months ago I wanted to make a coat with this style of sleeves but I could not find anything. Now I can finally make it. If I am drafting a coat how much ease should I add, and where should I add it?
Just found you channel. Your patterns are so lovely, please could you do a simple t shirt style pattern for none stretch material? Without darts! I really struggle to do darts. Would be fantastic if you could make a pattern book with all your easy patterns in? Thank you so much for this channel.
Check her no darts pattern video
How did you learn pattern making?? You are very talented
With this style , when you lift up your arms, will the shirt lift up high too?
Love it! Can you show how to make a pirate shirt? One with a simple rectangle collar, gathered neckline and slit opening in front, Bishop sleeve with button cuff and tunic length? Please😊
Great idea, thank you for suggestion, I will make it if I need one, but right now it is not on my list. :)
@@ThoughtfulCreativity Halloween is right around the corner 😊 maybe for a costume. Thank you for considering. Love your well explained instructions
@@betted3792 Maybe, but not sure :) What you can do, so that way you don't need to wait for a tutorial, just take this tutorial and adapt it - 1) do a square neck 2) extend it to be tunic length (so easy to do!) 3)make sleeves the way you want it following the visuals at the ends of this video and find a tutorial for whatever closure you want :) and ta-da!
@@ThoughtfulCreativity Yes I think I can do that. 💃Oh, now you have gotten my mind just a going.🤔 Hmmm, no telling what I'll come up with. Haha. It's going to be fun. Thank you so much for replying.😊
Trust me..
I wanted to ask you in your previous 1. How u made the top. I couldn't tske my eyes off of u..
Thankyou soooo much 💓. I love you 😍
A couple of people asked about it! I hope you enjoy this tutorial and get lots of inspiration, as you will see 3 different tops, so plenty of creative ways to sew and have fun wit it! :)
@@ThoughtfulCreativity
Enjoyed!!!! I couldn't have been more thankful for uploading it. Really I have watched literally 100s of videos on drafting raglan sleeves and 2 piece tailored sleeves but couldn't make anything out of them. And Bam, here you are with a piece of cake... i was actually jumping in joy.
I watched it 3 times and noted everything in my diary so i never loose it.
Thankyou Alissa. God bless you my dear
@@madhumitaghosh713 not a problem, just remember that this is the "un-official" way of drafting a raglan sleeves, as most of raglan sleeves are drafted for a basic sleeve and a basic bodice. But this works too, and I thought I would show my method, even though it is not "by the book".
@@ThoughtfulCreativityAlissa, i follow all your videos and have made many tops n dresses for myself. All fit just perfectly and i trust u completely. I don't care if it is unofficial and not by the books.. till the time, it fits well, looks asthetically pleasing, easy to understand and draft (with all due respect to all the learned people), for me u are the best and I'll vouch for it
Brilliant thanks can't wait to do...1 question on the woven getting the neck over your head, obviously you did 😊 just wondering I thought it might need an opening as it's not knit even if neck band cut on bias 🤔 x
No problem at all :) just make an opening If you need one - from placket to keyhole closure and ties - all tutorials are on the channel, juts choose whichever one you want and add it to this garment.
@@ThoughtfulCreativity perfect thank you so much x
I thought this would be easy 😂 spent a whole day with it. But .5 inch ease was to small for my woven garment, can’t cross my arms in a comfortable way 😅 tension at the back. And the armhole was to high.
I did add more ease to the sleeves and they turned out good, but maybe to short.
I even asked myself “do I make a muslin? no take the fabric and sew” i told myself. I should have made a muslin.
At least I get to practice 🤩
Well of course you should have done a muslin, especially when you don't draft patterns all the time and not familiar with what goes well with your body.
And most likely it is not the ease that you need to add but you need to look at the width of your back and add to that. If the ease is good in the rest of the garment, but your back is the only spot that is tight - then it is your back width that needs adjustment.
Alisa, How do you find a perpendicular line at 6:58? It does not look like 90 degrees. Please help.
Hi Alisa, love the tutorial and looking forward to trying it out😊. I can’t seem to find the instruction sheet? Thanks!
I have the same problem
Alisa said in a post either here on FB that she's working on the instruction sheet right now. This video hasn't been properly released yet, just as an early access for us.
Love it! Sooo many possibilities. On the same note - does anyone has a time-generating device?
@@gabriellagonda1544 thanks, good to know
Oh my….sorry I missed that😊….thank you!
I do enjoy your enthusiasm! I want to try the raglan sleeve shirt but I did not see the pattern in the perks of membership. Was I looking in the wrong place?
Hello Sara,I am so glad to see you in the Membership! Here's the link to one of the most recent Members Extra, when you open the description of Members Extra videos, you will see links to perks, click on the one that says "Instruction sheets", then, once on google drive, open the folder that says "instruction sheets for garments" and you will find it there :) - ua-cam.com/video/vcknQREuWqs/v-deo.html
The Instruction Sheet that you are after has a line drawing of a simple raglan top :)
I making a woven top which I have done before with the same pattern that I have, one piece sleeve and body all the same, but I am trying to make this one a bit longer and wider to match the skirt that I just made of the same fabric. I'm not quite sure how to do this, but I'm trying. Also I need a bit of help. I just ordered a serger, The Singer Perfect Fit, it had a lot of good reviews and the price was right almost free and brand new right from the company. What I need to know is treads. I have one off white serger thread and need to get 3 more, but is there other colors that I should also get or will these be OK until I get used to using a serger? It is coming pre treaded with four colors so I can get used to following the dots. Red, Green, Yellow and Blue I think. I'm so excited for it to arrive this Tues or Wed. The fabric that I made the skirt with and now a matching top ravels so bad even zig zagging all of the edges was a challange.
Annie, hi! 1) to make the top longer or wider just follow any of my tutorials, add width to the side seams and add length just like we did in this tutorial 2) for the serger thread - get the colors that you use the most in your garment sewing. For example, I sew a lot with navy, white, beige and grey - so I have 4 cones of each. Other colors, I usually have just one cone, or similar color cones, like I might have bring pink and baby pink, so If I am sewing pink I can mix the two pinks, and I mix it with white or beige thread I have, that way I don't need to buy al 4 cones of one pink color.
@@ThoughtfulCreativity Hi, Thank you, now I know the colors that I will have to get. Black, Navy and White to start out with. I have some really good stretch fabric to make some leggings and it's black. So I will get that for sure. Thanks for your help.
I need help please. I wanted to make a woven men crop top with long sleeves. I wanted a sleeve that can be lift up freely without pulling the shirt up? I followed your other video and made a sleeve, but I don't like how the arm is very restricted. Thankyou
Watch the video about the sleeves again. The height of the cap will determine the amount of mobility of the sleeve. The shorter the cap height - the less shirt will lift up with arms, but more drag lines you will have the sleeve. The video you are referring to is for a standard high cap sleeve which provides less mobility. Again, everything is explained in that video
What material did you use for the woven shirt?
Monika, hi! I don't remember exactly, but I think it was rayon. Anything blouse weight, soft and drapey will do!
Please measurement in cm to.
You make this process look so easy! One of these days I'll try to draft a pattern. Something small? Does this process work for children's clothes?
I am a plus size woman with loads of sewing experience but no experience making my own patterns. The difference between my shoulders and my bust leaves a huge armhole. Yet my arm measurement is large as well. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Or is your method simply unsuitable for plus sizes?
Make a bodice block with darts that fits you well (use that as a future base for all pattern drafts so you don't have to second guess yourself) and use that to transform it into a raglan sleeve top - I have both tutorials on the channel. That way you will accommodate your bust by making a dart, which decreases the front armhole. I don't know your body or your measurements - so I can't suggest, but I had subscribers of all sizes make this top without a problem. If not sure - cut a bedsheet first - analyze and then make adjustments.
I very much appreciate your reply and the detailed instructions in your videos. All the steps make sense and build on each other. I am having trouble going from a 63'' bust to 17.5'' shoulder measurement. (On the pattern piece that would be 16'' and 8.75'' .)
Can you make a PDF pattern to share? I’m terrible with drafting a pattern.
It is very time consuming and very expensive and require a lot of resources. Sorry, but self-drafting patterns will do for now.
Besides, I am sure you can find and buy similar PDF patterns out there, as this isn't a tutorial about buying what is out there but drafting one that fits you and your needs.
How do I get the patterns and downloads as a member
Amy, hello there, and thank you for joining! Please watch this Membership trailer (it is the same one you saw when you signed for the Membership) till the very end (very important) and it will show you how to access you perks and multiple ways to do so - ua-cam.com/video/uP9qSamkVkk/v-deo.html
Also, I am not sure if you are using patterns and Instruction Sheets as the same term, but I have never once said that there are garment patterns as a part of the Memberships, as the whole channel is based on drafting your own and that is what the Membership offers - Instruction sheets with steps for the garments that have been drafted on the channel up until July 2022. I just wanted to make sure that you are not expecting PDF patterns for garments, there are however templates for smaller projects like coasters, towel wrap and some others. It is all outlined in the trailer you see that opens up right when you're about to sign up. Thank you and happy sewing :)
If you're having any troubles with finding your perks - please let me know and I will help you out :) this is one of the latest Members Extras videos, you can find a link to Google Drive in the description of that video :) ua-cam.com/video/qydruXddyIs/v-deo.html

I have been trying to cancel my membership but google keeps taking out my payment. How do I get this membership cancelled? Please help me do this. thank you
Jo, hello there! So sorry about that, all you need to do is click on the upper right corner of your UA-cam app, then select "purchases and memberships" and there you can pause, cancel and renew, a long some other functions. Also, as of this moment - you do not have a Membership badge next to your UA-cam name, so I wonder if you had a Membership on a different UA-cam/Google account? Perhaps that's the reason why the payment is still going? Also... whatever is your payment option, let's say PayPal - you can also go into your PayPal account and cancel the payment there. Just trying to help you.
I give up! just reinstate my account and that will work. But please do not put in another charge as I am already being charged for it. Its ok I love your videos and you are a great teacher, @ThoughtfulCreativity
@@ThoughtfulCreativity
I finally got my google account cancelled. I love your videos and I can't thank you enough for all your help. I will continue to follow you and make your patterns. Thank you so much and have a Merry Christmas.
Can u tell me what the app that I need to cancel this looks like because I can"t find an app in thw corner or could you please contact google to cancel this? Outherwise they are going to keep charging me, This has become a nightmare, Please I need your help.
@@joduggan3750 Jo, hello there! You don't need any app, or anything else, you can cancel your Membership within 5 seconds. Just please read this reply in full: 1) I think you have 2 accounts that you have mixed up - this one - joduggan3750 and joduggan3957. The 3750 account does not have Membership, as you can tell there is no Membership badge next to your name, SO it is more that possible that you are trying to cancel the Membership on the account that does not have any. You need to log into your account that has the Membership and look in the upper right corner of the screen, in UA-cam, there is a little circle, usually with your profile picture or with the first letter of your name, then click on it, select "Purchases and Memberships" and select "deactivate". 2) I cannot contact Google or UA-cam on your behalf because I do not have any of your information and I should not, it is for security purposes, that's how UA-cam is set-up. I don't control any of your payments or which account you have Membership on and anything payment related, therefore I can't cancel it on your behalf either. It is all user (you) controlled. 3) Since you have emailed me yesterday (I also don't have email information for the same security reasons) I have emailed you step-by-step how to cancel your Membership with pictures! But, you HAVE TO log into the correct account. It should be very straight forward and I am so sorry it has turned into a trouble for you. 4) Your other account has been in the Membership only for 2 months, so I would strongly encourage you to take a look what exactly is the google charge for. Perhaps you have another account? Or another Membership? I can't look it up for you, but this information should be available in your google profile.
