Raglan Princess Jacket Pattern
 Login/Join
 
posted
Hello, the sleeve used in the raglan princess jacket pattern is typically used for stretch knits. Has anyone made a jacket with this pattern using a non-stretch fabric? Specifically, can you tell me if this pattern sleeve has been resized for regular wovens, such as, wool gabardine?

Thanks very much!

The stretch raglan sleeve may be used for wovens as the stretch amount is a neglible 1%.

A heavy fabric such as a woolen of heavier weight would benefit with the non stretch darted raglan shaping.

Depending on which pattern you are actually starting with look at Options>sleeve> and make your selection from standard darted raglan or stretch raglan.
