Peasant Blouse
I have DS9 Pro.
Does anyone know if I can draft a peasant blouse with raglan puff sleeves?
I know how to do it with set-in sleeves via comfort blouses, but cannot figure a way to use a raglan style sleeve.

The true peasant and the Raglan would have intersecting lines that would jam up either the neckline or the sleeve head.

You can have a boat neck and adjust the width- but it wont take much to break the corner of the raglan.

The Spring 11 collection has "Selmas vee notch" top- and is as close as we can come to a open neck with the raglan sleeve selection.

You can do it manually- but not directly with the program. The off the shoulder neckline just doesnt cut it with our draft code.

Except a work around way. Draft the blouse with raglan sleeve - 13431

pick stretch raglan sleeve, any desired length .Default boat neck.


fold your fabric- measure 2 -3 full inches in from the fold and draw a chalk line down in a straight line. Now line up center front of the pattern to the chalk line.. You now have 4-6 inches of extra neck width to gather. Repeat on back. Thats a lot and should drop off the shoulder! Sew the casing and use drawstring or lingerie elastic to gather.

Done
