I got wind Adrianna from Hey June was planning to start a juniors line (sizes 6-16) and I started dropping not so subtle hints I was super excited for it. So, she sent me an early version of the raglan pattern and I sewed up two versions (not pictured on the blog) then joined in with the testing group when she got that far. Abby was so excited, she had long commented on my Lanes, I knew she would love this one.
The Camden Raglan is a more fitted and shaped raglan, ie, definitely not a unisex raglan. And as much as I love my Field Trip raglans, I wanted a more fitted, less brother could borrow it kind of shirt.
The pattern includes sizes 6-16 and lots of options.
The sleeve stripes are one of those options. I had this HTV I had been sitting on for a while, not sure what to do with it. Abby requested it because Taylor Swift. 22 is one of her songs and Red is one of her albums, so Abby wanted a red 22 on a shirt.
By the time I made this, I wasn't sure if she'd get too much wear out of it. She had already stopped wearing hoodies to school in the morning, but it ended up being perfect for our vacation we took last week to the beach. She wore it on those cool morning walks on the beach, and I am sure it will be perfect for camping this summer.
These next two were made with earlier versions of the pattern, but since I like to keep record of all my makes and she wears them constantly, I am including them.
Again, early version. I love the long cuffs on the pattern, next fall I want to try them on my beloved Lane.
Rumor has it eventually there will be more mini size patterns based on some of Adrianna's adult patterns, I for one am crazy excited for a mini Union.
