The Kids Raglan by Ellie and Mac

I think Daniel picked this fabric out last year. I made him a tee shirt with it before, but he's outgrown it now. I had a little bit left, folded on a shelf. Luke brought it to me one day recently and said, "This" and then pointed at his shirt. I think that was his way of requesting a monster truck shirt maybe? But, I've had several other sewing projects going on and had not gotten to this one yet, until this past weekend!

I decided that the Ellie and Mac Wacky Wednesday was the PERFECT excuse to make him a new raglan tee from this monster truck fabric that he loves so much. And, now I'm trying to figure out why I waited so long... because a raglan is FAST to sew... like seriously fast. And, I know this because I've made raglan tees before!
Let's Talk a Bit About the Pattern:

This pattern is made for knit fabrics. It includes sizes for kids newborn to size 14. It is a unisex raglan. It has options for short, 3/4 length, and long sleeves. There is also a ruffle piece for the sleeve, although I didn't use it for Luke! It has separate front and back pieces, and sleeves that are cut on fold. It is a very fast sew, as I mentioned! It's a perfect basic pattern to have on hand! I can see using it for applique too!
I bet the pattern took less than 30 minutes to sew, cut to finish. I am happy with the fit on him! He seems comfortable, and he loves his shirt!
Fabric:

 The monster truck fabric is a Doodles interlock from Joann Fabrics. I bought it last year. Interlock does shrink, so I recommend washing and drying a few times prior to sewing so that the finished garment doesn't shrink.

The solid red is from Peek-a-boo Fabric shop. I have quite a few of their prints too waiting to be sewn. They have really fast shipping and great quality! I definitely recommend checking them out for some great prints for kiddos at affordable prices!

 For Wacky Wednesday, the pattern is only $1! What a steal!! Grab it to sew it up for your kiddos here! https://www.ellieandmac.com/products/unisex-raglan-top-pattern?aff=1217

Free and Easy... Sewing the Agnes by Halla!

I love trying new things when it comes to sewing. I love learning new techniques, how to do things different ways, and figuring things out. For the most part, I also enjoy trying new-to-me pattern designers. This was my first ever pattern by Halla  - the AGNES . Yep, I downloaded it a long time ago when it released, but this was my first time ever making it! I downloaded it with intentions of trying it because it was so popular. It may have been popular because it's a FREE pattern (you can get the code to download it in the Halla Facebook Group ), or it may have been really popular because it's FREE and REALLY AWESOME. This blog tour gave me a chance to find out for myself! I participated in this blog tour put together by Kate of  Sewing from Scratch ... the idea is that we would all sew the same pattern, but make it our own. If we love it as is, we sew it as is. If we want a cute bow (Gwen😉), we add a cute bow, if we want to make all the adjustments to get our perfect ...
