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!

The Tank Dress 3-ways by Pattern Emporium

It's been a while since I posted. I've been sewing, helping my kindergartener with virtual school, and living, which just hasn't left me with a lot of time for blogging! Life happens!  But... I've kind of missed writing, and I decided that now was the perfect time to make a new post. I had the opportunity to sew a pattern I really liked, and I got excited enough to find the motivation to write about it! 😉 **Disclosure: I have included my affiliate link to the pattern used in this post. If you choose to purchase a Pattern from Pattern Emporium using my link, I will receive a small commission of the sale at no additional cost to you.** The pattern I tested is from Pattern Emporium. I love their patterns for a few reasons. I've posted before that I have kind of broad shoulders and on with some designers I have to adjust patterns to fit them. There are a couple of designers that seem to fit me well with no adjustments to the pattern pieces and this is one of them. I
