Sewing pattern: Lace trim raglan sleeve detail

Raglan sleeve shirts are easy to sew, and so much fun to customize! You can easily add interest by just using contrast fabric for the sleeves, but you can make it even cuter by adding trim to the seam. Emily from Life Sew Savory shows how to add lace trim detail to raglan sleeves. The lace is set between the sleeve and the bodice so you can see through the holes in the lace. It’s a super cute detail for girls’ or women’s tops!
