Free pattern: Blinged Out Raglan Tee

Jamie from Scattered Thoughts of a Crafty Mom shows how she made her Blinged Out Raglan Tee for her daughter. It’s a simple raglan tee from knit fabric, but the sleeves are some of that sequiny costume fabric. She used her raglan sleeve tee (free pattern, which she links to in her post) for the basic pattern, but finished the sleeve differently so the rough surface of the sequined fabric wouldn’t scratch her daughter’s arm when turned under. Her free pattern comes in little girl sizes 4 – 8. If you need another size, you can make this adaptation to any basic raglan sleeve t-shirt pattern.
