![]() Step 4: Cut these lines, but stop at the seam allowance line that you have drafted at the top. Try to spread them evenly (as good as you can by eye). Step 3: Draw some lines from the seam allowance line at the top, to the bottom. Step 2: Mark the seam allowance (1/4") at the top of the sleeve. Step 1: Piece your sleeve pattern piece together and use the short sleeve length. I have used the dress length of the Going Home Sweater Pattern (you can use the kid's version or adult version or any other raglan pattern). So today I am going to write about adding a flutter sleeve to a raglan pattern. But how do you create a flutter sleeve for a raglan pattern? I have figured it out and want to share this with you. ![]() And I love the relaxed look of a raglan dress as well, that is why I thought about adding those two together. There is something that makes you feel special when you are wearing an outfit with a flutter sleeve. I love the dreamy look of a flutter sleeve. So, here’s how my lovely peasant top looks in action.Hi everyone! This is me, Manda, again with another blog for you. If you use my tutorials or patterns I would love to see what you are making, so please share a photo on my Facebook page or tag me on Instagram! ![]() Have fun making lots of peasant tops/dresses with flutter sleeves! Give your little peasant top a good press and you’re done! Make sure the hem is even around the peasant top. I used a wide hem to give some shape to the bottom of my peasant top, but if you want a narrow hem, that’s fine too. Step 7įold the serged hem up 1” and pin in place. Overlap the elastic ends and stitch them together to form a circle. This casing goes all the way around the neckline and shoulders and this is where we’ll insert our 1/4” elastic – I used a safety pin to thread elastic through it. Be sure to leave about 1/2″ opening so that you can feed your elastic. Step 6 – Let’s form the top casing.įold the top edge over 1/2″ and press, then pin and sew 3/8” from the folded edge. Then serge the side seams, and while you’re at it, also serge the top and the bottom edges of the peasant top. Now place the bodice pieces right sides together and sew down the sides, from the hem to the bottom of the armhole. Remember to backstitch at the beginning and end. Then turn the edge to the wrong side of the peasant top, and stitch it down. We are already able to see the peasant top come together. Now line the sleeve edges up on the bodice front like shown in the below picture. Sew the sleeve to the bodice, with a 3/8” seam allowance, then repeat with the second sleeve. The raw edges should be facing up towards the top of the peasant top. With the right sides together, match one sleeve and the bodice back. Serge the bottom edge, then turn the edge under 1/4”, press and sew. ![]() Make sure when you add extra length at the bottom to follow the edge of the pattern and get a subtle A-line shape. If you plan on making a peasant-style dress with flutter sleeves, just measure your little girl from the bottom of her armpit to where you would like the dress to end, then add 1” to this measurement. Once cut, your folded pieces should look like this – two bodice pieces and two sleeve pieces. The bodice is composed of three pieces – part 1, part 2, and part 3. Line up the pattern pieces on the fold of your fabric and cut. How to make a peasant top with flutter sleeves Step 1
