This is an upcycling project using the raglan shirt pattern from Sewing For Boys 24 Projects to Create a Handmade Wardrobe by Shelly Figueroa and Karen LePage. This is the third shirt I've done with this pattern. I made it in the size 2/3 and I increased the collar by 1 1/2" to fit Damien's head. I lost the picture of the original shirt I made this from. It was an XL shirt we bought for his older brother that was never worn. I was able to place the pieces so that the used the hem of the shirt for the front, back, and sleeves. The great thing about t-shirt fabric is that it doesn't ravel so you don't have to do anything to finish seams if you don't want to. I want to make this shirt in an adult size as it's so easy and fast to do.
