The Rose Raglan Button Up is a fun take on an over-sized classic men’s shirt. It has raglan sleeves, and instead of a classic back yoke, the yoke is part of the sleeve. You have the option of a classic two piece collar or a convertible one piece collar, curved hem, or a banded straight hem, and pleated sleeves or wide sleeves. You can mix and match between the different views as you like. Instead of a traditional sleeve placket, the slit sits in the sleeve seam. The flat felled seams mean that you will be able to see topstitching, so you can choose either matching or contrasting thread. 

This pattern will teach you some fun techniques including:

✿ Flat felled seams without a special presser foot
✿ Grown-on sleeve placket with flat felled seams
✿ How to sew a collar and collar stand (View A)
✿ How to sew a convertible collar and attach it to the neckline in a super clean way—without using a facing. (View B)
✿ How to attach a cuff

FABRIC RECOMMENDATIONS
This pattern is made for woven fabrics. The look and feel of the shirt will change a lot depending on the fabric you choose. Something light like cotton lawn or seersucker will make the perfect beach cover-up or pajama top. Something mid-weight like linen, chambray, or cotton poplin will make a gorgeous everyday shirt. Flannel would make it a cozy over-shirt, and you could even make it in denim or canvas for more of a jacket feel.
