This complete dressmaking kit contains everything you need to sew your own Boxy Raglan Sweatshirt, using the well-loved Wardrobe by Me pattern. Designed with a relaxed, easy fit and plenty of customisable options, this is a cosy, satisfying make you’ll find yourself reaching for again and again.
With its laid-back raglan sleeves and boxy silhouette, this sweatshirt is all about effortless comfort. Choose from three neckline styles, two body lengths (long or cropped) and short or long sleeves to suit your style. Finish with classic ribbed cuffs for a snug feel, keep them loose for a softer shape, or leave them off entirely for a clean, modern look. It’s a versatile piece that works beautifully for layering or wearing on its own.
Before you Start
Before cutting, take a moment to read through the Wardrobe by Me instructions from beginning to end so you’re familiar with the construction process. The pattern is clearly written, but a quick read-through will help everything come together smoothly.
We recommend pre-washing your sweatshirting before cutting, as it may shrink slightly. Wash on a cool setting and air dry where possible to help maintain its softness and shape.
Fabric & Care
Main fabric:
This kit features our Bloom cotton sweatshirting, a lighter weight sweatshirt fabric with a soft handle and gentle stretch. It’s breathable, comfortable and perfect for transitional dressing, whether layered up or worn on cooler summer evenings.
Composition: 95% cotton, 5% elastane
Care: Machine wash on a cool setting and air dry where possible. Press on a low heat if needed.
