Learn how to draft a raglan sweater to your measurements!
Because of past raglan fails, I've always been a raglan sweater skeptic--until now! After studying all possible ways to shape a raglan sweater, I now know how to shape a raglan that fits YOU well. In this class you'll learn various ways to shape a raglan armhole and sleeve cap, and how to combine those in a modular way for the best fit for you.
Using your measurements and fit preferences, I will teach you how to draft a raglan pattern template for yourself that you can use as a master pattern alongside any other raglan pattern to create a sweater that fits you well every time. We'll be breaking the process down into tiny steps so that you fully understand each element before we move on to the next one.
In this course, you will learn:
- all about raglan construction (standard raglan, compound raglan, modular raglan, and variations on each)
- various ways to get the best fit
