I may have an unnatural relationship with this raglan pattern (link below). This time paired a fun stripe with a navy solid.
This time I added side seam pockets. Half the fun of making your own clothes is adding details you really like. I like pockets. Pockets big enough for my hands. Pockets big enough to hold my mobile phone. You know, appropriately sized pockets. If you don't know about pocket inequality, you should do some reading.
This article from Medium is a good place to start. It just scratches the surface. I'm sure you could find more out there with a simple Google search.
Here's my finish. Tip: spread your garment sewing across several days: read and prepare pattern on day one, press and cut fabric on day two, assemble and sew on day three, wear on day four. Doing it all in a single day can seem daunting. Take your time. You aren't just sewing to have a garment that fits, you're sewing to be part of the garment construction process. Slow down.
The pattern is the Going Home Sweater by Ellie & Mac with a few modifications. Your mileage may vary. Read my full post about my experience with this pattern in my Going Home Sweater post.
