Goofs: Watch me sew the neckband twice, LOL! Which is actually a good thing, because you'll get a better idea of how to do it plus some extra tips. ;) You should of course just sew it once.

Also, I apparently live with tigers which make a brief audio appearance during said neckband!

Thank you for the tutorial! I was having an issue with my neckline being too big and your way is genius!

Basting stitches where the seams meet is such a good idea and I'm definitely stealing that. :D

Thank you. It looks great. I love the fabric stamp idea too! It looks a great design. Thanks for sharing x

I work from home so will wear my raglan as comfortable work attire. 😁

What a clever idea basting the under arm seam joint 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Thanks so much for sharing. This is such a cute style that can be used for day or jammies. Can’t wait to make for my toddlers 🤗

Great video! I’ll be trying out my first raglan and I’m super excited. Can you confirm if I can use fleece?

what pattern is this and where you buy the fabric weights..tfs

Can I mix - Bamboo knit ( 95% Rayon, 5% spandex) and Miracle Cotton Knit ( 95% cotton, 5% spandex) for this project or that would look not very good?

Can you use spandex for this? I was given a ton of 80’s black spandex with metallic prints, thinking it could be really interesting. How would the process differ for spandex? Thank you! P.s. totally loving your tutorials.

When you use the twin needle, what stitch length do you use? I have never had good success with the twin needle.
