Hello! Hope everyone is doing good this Friday - a day late post! I hope no one holds it against me, because i have a BONUS post for tomorrow which features another Rainier, as well!
Today is all about PeekaBoo Patterns Rainier Raglan! I asked to sew this one because I see Mt. Rainier on any sunny day when I drive to work! The first day I saw it after moving to Washington I thought is was some crazy War of the Worlds shit. Like I though the large thing in the distance was coming to destroy us. Turns out, it's a mountain. So that's good news.
The Rainier Raglan is a loose fit classic baseball shirt. It's cute and comfy and most notable, it's a great fit for those with longer / normal torsos. I added 3" just because I like my shirts to go below my pants line, however, this one didn't need that much! I could have easily sewn as is, or just added 1". You have no idea how rare it is to find a shirt that I don't have to lengthen. I am not even very tall. 5'6". But I suppose 4' of that is torso. haha
My neckline is a little wide because the striped fabric didn't have any lycra in it, so it's all cotton / mechanical stretch.
I actually just paired these two fabrics from my stash and hoped it looked okay, turns out it's super cute! I'm a fan and so is Nick. My family had opinions about this floral, but bahh, look how cute it sews up into a contrasting raglan!
The construction on the Rainier is really straightforward. Amy uses clear photographs with contrasting fabrics to make the instructions a breeze. Pretty much once you've sewn one or two, they're constructed the same way. I'm focusing on the beginners who may need some extra assistance.
As you can see here, the sleeves are also relaxed. It's a nice contrast from all the banded raglans I've been sewing. This feels like I should have a kid, put them in baseball, sew this shirt with their number on the back, and go eat popcorn at their games. It feels very classic "true to baseball jerseys" and sporty.
Who should sew the Rainier Raglan?
Anyone who likes a looser fitting top and anyone just jumping into knit projects. It's a very forgiving fit and the instructions are laid out clearly to assist in assembly. Plus, Amy provides finished garment and body measurements which is GREAT to help you plan your best size.
