Penny Raglan
Grainline Studio

Penny Raglan
The Penny Raglan is an oversized tee with a breezy shape that keeps the fabric from clinging for summer comfort. Techniques include sewing with knits, straight seams, attaching a knit neckband, and hemming. Recommended for light to medium weight jersey knits with a minimum of 20% stretch.

This chartreuse jersey from my stash paired perfectly with some of my overshot handwoven, so I woke up and decided to combine them into a Penny Raglan by @grainlinestudio. Handwoven fabric can almost behave like a knit so it was super quick and straightforward to work with these two fabrics together. #pennyraglan #grainlinestudio #overshot #weaving #weaversofinstagram #handwoven #sewistsofinstagram #memade #memadeeveryday #sewingwithhandwovens #ithacaclothworks

#memademay2025 Day 8. #smartpatternboyfriendjeans @smartpattern snd #pennyraglan @grainlinestudio . I tested a lot of raglan patterns, Penny is a favourite, great proportions. @smartpattern is a german label where you can get made to measure patterns. I made the option with ready to made Sites, for the possibility of making different Version. #isewmyownclothes #memadeeveryday #jeportecequejecouds #nähenmachtspass #sewover50 #sewover50may2025

Bei der Hose habe ich großzügig Weite an den Beinen dazugegeben, das Shirt ist ein wenig verlängert. Nachdem ich schon lange hier lebe, habe ich eine ganz neue Spazierstrecke entdeckt.

#memademay2024day24 A very old #pennyraglan with some very old mended and patched Lee Riveted dungarees. Last year I added an embroidered juniper sprig on the front pocket from the book #mysticalstitches by @christijay and a hand-carved rubber stamp patch of a flower designed by my daughter Jane. The gorgeous tooled leather earrings are from @eclipsed.moon.co …my hometown friend Kate…a gift from my awesome hubby last year❤️ #memademay #memademay2024 #grainlinestudios #supporthandmade #mendingmatters #visiblemending #mendinglife #lovedclotheslast #repairisaradicalact

MeMadeMay Day 9: Such a nice day and since it is also a public holiday in Germany, we went to the Botanical gardens to see the rhododendrons. I'm wearing a Penny raglan shirt by @grainlinestudio , rtw trousers and again my #siennamakerjacket . Since I got some really nice comments on it yesterday, I also show you parts of the lining. A demanding and time-consuming project but absolutely worth it. #memademay #memademay2024 #pennyraglan

A couple days of Me Made, since I got behind. A Penny Raglan you’ve seen (while unpacking my bag at my parents), Bourbon on my NYC quilt (which I brought down for my Mom’s quilt guild to see, the quilt my Mom made for him (and I quilted, and she can never say she doesn’t love him), my first Roscoe Blouse that’s a bit too large these days, and the most adorable pup named Bourbon on a quilt I made my Dad. #memademay2023 #memademe #isew #isewmyownclothes #roscoeblouse #pennyraglan #truebias #grainline #quilting

I worked from home today, and I had Greek early in the morning. I'm so tied . Today’s me made is one new Penny Raglan and an oversized, too large pair of sweats from Zara that are perfect for days and moods like today. #memadeeveryday #pennyraglan #grainlinestudio #artgalleryfabrics #tiredaf

Me Made May Day 2 started with kid puke, and I didn’t want to get dressed at all. Wearing one of my most worn makes, a @grainlinestudio #pennyraglan in cotton-modal. I wear my Penny raglans ALL THE TIME. Cost per wear on this one is about $1.50, but some of my others are ~ $0.50. This is size 12 with length of an 18. I also wore a Marlo sweater by True Bias this morning but it’s too hot out now. 🥵 CPW on that is also <$2. #memademay2023 #grainlinestudio #bfknits #blackbirdfabrics

Eine Woche im Valle Maira. Diesmal wird es ein kombinierter Wander- Radurlaub von einem festen Standort aus. Gestern bin den Talrundweg von Ponte Maira nach Chiappera gelaufen, 12,6 Kilometer mit 490 Höhenmetern. Sehr abwechslungsreich durch wunderschöne Landschaften und immer mit Alpenpanorama. Meine Wanderkleidung ist ganz neu. #archerworkpants @matchymatchysewingclub und #pennyraglan @grainlinestudio . #isewmyownclothes #memadeeveryday #sewingactivewear #jeportecequejecouds #nähenmachtspass #sewover50 #sewover50aug

Me-made May, days 20-24. It's been nice getting back into the swing of documenting things I've made, but I'm glad to be getting into the home stretch of taking mostly-daily photos. Monday: @grainlinestudio Penny Raglan in Kaufman Laguna jersey (grey) and mystery knit from a friend's destash (black) & RTW jeans. Tuesday: work shirt & Peppermint Pocket Skirt in linen/rayon blend. I love the drape of this but I wish I'd shortened it differently. I'm 5'3" and if I recall correctly it's drafted for 5'6" or 5'7". I took out an inch above the top of the pockets and two inches below, and I wish I had flipped that. The bottom of the pocket hits juuuust a little lower than I'd like. Wednesday: @openstudiopatterns Bumper Blouse in a fabric that someone donated to my work. It's a really nice blue-black that feels a little like a cotton and linen or hemp blend. Thursday: an all @elizsuzann 'fit. Georgia tee & Clyde work pants. Friday: dressed for staying home in the same Clyde pants & a band tee that I cropped and hemmed (and @finommusic has a great new album out today). Rietveld chairs by my dad. #memademay #pennyraglan #peppermintpocketskirt #bumperblouse #esmadebyme #georgiatee #georgiaseries #clydeworkpants #memade #sewnshownseated #thanksimadeit #stillsewingstories #mmmay #memademay2024

MeMadeMay Day 10: Odd at-work selfie, but well... Same #pennyraglan as yesterday, rtw trousers and cardigan. Although I wish I had knitted this cardigan, cannot be too difficult, just some simple mesh pattern with sleeves. I plan to give it a try and replicate that thing. #memademay #memademay2024

I love black. 🖤🧛♀️✔️🏴☠️♠️ I’ve never made a black garment I didn’t wear ALL. The. Time. Worn with a thrifted scarf 🧣 and my blundies 🥾 ⚫️ 📐Pattern: • #pennyraglan tee by @grainlinestudio • #mndawnjeans by @megannielsenpatterns in the skinny version 👖 ✂️Fabric: • black #hemp knit from @blackbirdfabrics 🖤 • black stretch (98%cotton2%spandex) (8-10oz I forget 🧐) denim from @kingtextiles ⬛️ 🧵Mods: • size 0 in the raglan, no additional mods • size 10waist graded to 6hips in the dawns (should now be 10w8h) • 1/2” swayback adjustment (it was too much. Switched to 3/8”) • took the legs in at the calf a bit more during the outer seam basting step • frayed hem What I learned 🤔 • used @ritdye dye fixative in a boiling pot to cure the denim bleeds. SHOULD have done this to the entire 2m of fabric. I think this step shrunk an already snug fit 😬 I think it helped the colour though! (I did prewash in warm before sewing) • I need a lighter weighted stretch denim for skinnies. I’m thinking a 6oz would be better than what I used. These are more so *standing concert* pants than sitting pants. 🎶😅 • black is the goat 👑

Three views of today. For the record, I know those jeans are too big, and the three people to comment on my walk with my little 80-proof can lump it. On that note, here’s a Penny Raglan you’ve seen already, but in all honesty, we tend to wear the same set of our closets repeatedly. #pennyraglan #grainlinestudio #memademay #rescuedog #rescuedogismyfavoritebreed

Greetings friends, I spent most of this year making a dissertation and making a new life in a relatively new town/state and making a job search turn into a job and some other meaty/energy-consuming tasks so have seldom showed up on the sewing Internet but I can't see a #memademay begin without wanting to join in myself because I love everyone's content so much, it's like going to a party full of old acquaintances. . Joining the party with a home sewn shirt and jacket and hand knit vest. I just knit the vest last fall, and love it and wear it often, including today, #MeMadeMay2023 day 1; I live in a 123-year-old house on the Great Plains where the gusting wind clocked in at 44 degrees Fahrenheit and 45 MPH just this morning so woolly vests are the height of practicality. I credit my friend @sunthshine for prompting me to knit it in advance of some academic conferences last fall, where we decided to test our abilities imitating that alchemical Scandinavian style of sweater vest + oversized tshirt + sneakers = inexplicable chicness. I did not achieve this (obviously) but I do have a utilitarian garment in one of my favorite colors as a consequence. . Materials/details (swipe for pattern info and random process photos): . Tshirt under my vest was sewn using the @grainlinestudio #pennyraglan pattern in size XS, in black bamboo knit fabric from Mood Fabrics . Vest was knit using the @petiteknit #stockholmvest pattern and has just about the nicest v-neck finish I've ever achieved, in a combo of @isageryarn silk mohair in color "moss" and @solitudewool 2-ply light worsted in an olive green, purchased at a farmer's market in DC approximately one billion years ago (2007?) and knit by 21-year-old me into a different, very early-aughts vest (read: extremely deep v, super fitted, lil' ruffle sleeves, three tank tops layered underneath), which I blessedly unraveled a few years ago to make something less dated 😂. My gauge was significantly larger than pattern so I knit a size XS in terms of finished dimensions only. . Jacket was sewn using the @stylearc #steviejeanjacket pattern in size 4, using a men's jean jacket I bought at a Philadelphia flea market [contd in comments]

I took a break from my usual WFH ensemble of a graphic tee and sweats to participate in my first Me Made May (!) with this fresh-off-the-machine make. I’m wearing the #PennyRaglan from @GrainlineStudio. My measurements put me at a size 10, but I sized down based on reviews and the finished measurements. I cut a size 4 for the front and 0 for the back side seams. (I’m hourglass-shaped and have a swayback). I also lengthened it by 3 inches (I’m 5’7” but a bit short-waisted). I’m pleased with the modifications I made, and could see this being a TNT pattern for me. Though I think I want to raise and narrow the neckline, as it juuuuust covers my bra straps. This was only my second attempt at a knit, so I messed up the neckline on my first try and had that debate between forging ahead anyway, throwing it in the naughty pile out of frustration, or unpicking the tiny zigzag stitch and trying again. This time, I opted to try again and I’m glad I did. The second time around was much better, even if I had to repair a hole I made with the seam ripper. Part of my motivation to make it work was this lovely stretch rayon jersey from @moodfabrics. It’s luxuriously soft with a great drape, and the photo isn’t doing the vibrancy of the color any justice. I’ve been sewing for about a year and a half, teaching myself through YouTube videos, blogs, and patterns with detailed instructions. I’m so grateful to the online sewing community and everyone who shares their knowledge freely so I could be on this journey. #memademay #memademay2025 #madewithmood

A few photos from today, when I didn’t leave the house and dealt with my growing anxiety about the election by sewing and reading. I made two Penny Raglans from @grainlinestudio: the first with scraps of French terry and Japanese eyelet, the second with a blend of organic cotton and hemp from Homespun Boutique in Tburg. For the first, I didn’t have quite enough of the French terry so I deconstructed a tee I made ages ago and had a “make it work” moment. I also made a flannel robe for my son and got lost in North Woods by Daniel Mason. #pennyraglan #sewover40 #handmadewardrobe #sewistsofinstagram #memade #memadeeveryday #imakemyclothes As for the anxiety, I keep waiting for a change, keep worrying and retreating inward, keep choosing my words carefully around my children to manage their anxiety, keep wondering why we aren’t all gathered together and creating a movement now before it’s too late.

#memademay2024day11 Cleaning up the pollinator bed. Added a beautiful bear patch from @gatherwhatspills to these well-loved #heydaydungarees for a new garden season and stitched a dividing line down one of the front patch pockets so my phone would stay nice and snug. That’s a #pennyraglan under there…very very old with some holes starting to sprout…might need to make myself another one this summer. #memademay #memademay2024 #lovedclotheslast #gatherwhatspillspatch #wavesandwild #madebyjacksmum #handmadeoveralls

The best thing about traveling in me-mades is that you can cover yourself with pockets. - I made a pair of #pomonapants by @annaallenclothing using fabric from #lottajansdotter. Her fabric is screen printed by hand in a cotton/linen blend and so comfortable and hard wearing. I put big patch pockets on the sides of the legs. - A #unfoldingjacket by @shopwiksten with the built in pocket hack - A #bumbasticbag by @dora_creadora. I had a remnant of the same #merchantandmills oilcloth that she used, so I copied her bag, except that I wanted it a smidge smaller, so I printed the pattern at 90% - Oh, my old #pennyraglan by @grainlinestudio has no pockets

Excuse my extremely dirty mirror, but - I’m wearing all handmade today! These are well-loved @truebias #landershorts from a couple years ago made in Ventana Twill, worn with also well-loved @grainlinestudio #pennyraglan. This combo has been a wardrobe staple for years, and I’m grateful that these shorts were a little too big once upon a time when I made them, because it means I can still squeeze into them now. Meanwhile my baby is on her third outfit of the day; she loves a wardrobe change and experimenting with pattern mixing. #landerpant #landerpants #truebias #grainlinestudio #memademay2023 #memademay #handmadewardrobe #imakemyownclothes

Today’s Me Made May is a Penny Raglan. A style you see a lot of me in every spring and summer. I actually made this one last weekend, and I had to size down the sides a bit… Here’s me and Bourbon in phases of today, as I’ve graded and battled a migraine. #memademay #pennyraglan #grainlinestudio #rescuedog @grainlinestudio

So good to be back here after a month long break. It was also extra good to have another sewing session with friends!!! 💕 @saysayphoto @huongfralin @libbabib I wanted to make something easy when we were sewing together so I chose a faux jumpsuit using the most glorious tencel jersey from @corefabrics. I used the @grainlinestudio #pennyraglan and @namedclothing #ninniculottes patterns, used my serger for everything, hemmed nothing, and made this in no time at all. This fabric is a dream and the results are definitely secret pajamas. Also obviously really love this @hyworks.la and would like another! #memadeeveryday #handmadewardrobe #makersgonnamake #sewistsofinstagram #diyootd #memadeootd #wiaw #imakemyownclothes #isewmyownclothes #sustainablesewing #sewinglove #sewaddicted #imadethis #roanokesews #mmootd #consciouscloset #mindfulsewing #imademyclothes #indiepatterns #handmadeclothing #virginiasews #sewqueer

Why hello. This is my ice dyed #pennyraglan by @grainlinestudio . . . If you follow my stories, (lots of babies and otherwise really riveting content), you’d know we have been on an ice dying spree at my house the past couple weeks. It was in the high 90s and playing with giant bags of ice seemed fun. We did the kid stuff first (tiny baby T’s!) because I wanted to see what dye combos I liked (yes I let my kids take the lead on design and then copied them 😄). . . . . I got the dye and cotton jersey fabric from @dharmatradingco . The fabric is perfect t shirt weight, so soft and comfy. I followed an article on @seamwork by @sakijane which was incredibly helpful. One important thing I learned is you really don’t need too many colors. The magic of ice dye is that you get a big variation from just two colors, maybe three max. That’s truly the fun—unlike straight dip-dying, the process of ice dying causes the dyes to break down into their different color components. In this penny raglan tee, I only used two colors of dye, but I ended up with such a lovely variation of hues. I chose the colors daffodil (deep yellow) and wisteria (pale blue with a hint of purple). Another variation I didn’t expect was that I got slightly different results when it was less sunny— I’ll post that one soon! And as always, I should have added length to this but it’s fine— I like a swingy raw edge in a tee. . . . #sewingtall #dharmatradingco #icedye #icedyed #grainlinestudio #grainlinepennyraglan #handdyedfabric

Zurück auf der #vélosud. Am Samstag bin ich noch eine Höllenhitzetour gefahren 44 Kilometer mit 700 Höhenmetern bei 37 Grad Celsius. Davon gibt es kaum Fotos, weil es beim Anhalten noch höllenheißer war. Essen gab es auch nicht zu kaufen aber es war noch Vorrat da. Das improvisierte Abendbrot war überraschend gut. Sonntag bin ich nur vormittags zum Supermarkt gefahren und habe den Rest des Tages gelesen. Inzwischen ist es auch ein wenig abgekühlt, nur noch 28 Grad. Heute 60 Kilometer bei bedecktem Himmel, das hat Spaß gemacht. Ich brauchte sogar zu Beginn eine lange Hose. #bisquetrousers Aus Hemdenstoff, schon einige Jahre alt, eine meiner liebsten. Dazu #pennyraglan @grainlinestudio aus dunkelrotem Seidenjersey. Gekauft in bester Nähfreundinnenbegleitung letztens in Maastricht. #fahrradreise #veloweltweit #isewmyownclothes #memadeeveryday #travelwardrobe #sewover50 #sewover50jun

#MeMadeMay Day 4: Low-key Sunday spent mostly outside, I smell like bonfire smoke after roasting marshmallows with my kids around a friend's fire pit. Featuring one of my oldest and newest makes: . I sewed this shirt from the #PennyRaglan pattern by @GrainlineStudio about 9 years ago in magical grayish bamboo jersey from @MoodFabrics that does not seem to age . I finished knitting this hat over the weekend from the, perhaps too fittingly, #WeekendHat pattern by @PetiteKnit in decadent poppy-red cashmere/merino yarn from @PurlSoho . #knitting #sewing #memademay25 #mmm2025 #slowfashion #imakemyclothes

#memademay2024 back home for day 20, repeating my trusty old forest green twill #landerpants / #landershorts, size 6. But I think the real star is this old tee of my dad’s, from his days living in Moscow as a teen due to his dad’s job (my grandpa) at the US Embassy there. I cherish it!

Me Made May 2024 🌸 Day 1: Here we go! Me Made May 2024 is on. I mostly wear things I’ve made every day so I like this opportunity to show off makes that haven’t seen the light of day on here. My favorite part of the month is seeing everyone else’s outfits! Today I’m wearing a dress I made for our France trip last summer, but have since shortened because it was just too much skirt. I also popped a photo of my outfit from my morning workout and dog walk! #memademay #MMMay #memademay2024 .

May the 4th! I re-wore my #pennyraglan, this time with a soon-to-be-released @merchantandmills pattern - the Mathilde skirt - this is my tester version and it’s coming end of the month with a couple of pocket options. Made in the softest Indian cotton called ‘over the rainbow’(also from@M&M). I made a matching bandana and hand rolled the edges which took way more time than I was anticipating when I made it, but worth it for the finish 💅🏼

Me Made May 2023 ⭐️ Day 1: I’ve been sewing my own clothes for ten years now, so most of my wardrobe is me made. I love this month though because I get to see everyone else’s everyday wardrobes and I get photo evidence of mine! Jeremy and I are going to France next month (!!!), and of course I’ve made lots of new things for that trip… so I’m planning to road test and photograph several of them this month too! Today is starting off with a bit of a whimper, but this is real life! On this rainy-ish day, I’m going to the gym and dog park, so let’s be real - this is today’s outfit. 😀 #memademay #MMMay #memademay2023 . Shirt: @grainlinestudio #pennyraglan in bamboo jersey from @blackbirdfabrics

For day 4 of MMM, I’m wearing another one of my go-to outfit combos—an Axis Tank and a cropped Penny Raglan made in the same bamboo knit. Remember those matching cardigan & tank top combos from like the 90s? It’s like that, except designed for never having to wear a real bra and maximizing drapey comforting goodness while still looking somewhat cute in what’s really just a t-shirt & jeans. #MeMadeMay #MeMadeMay2023 #MeMadeMayPlus #MeMadeMayFat #MeMadeMayPlus2023 #MeMadeMayFat2023 #SHinesAxisTank #GrainlinePenny #GrainlinePennyRaglan #GrainlinePennyPlus
