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!
