In fact, I have been looking for a raglan sleeve T-shirt pattern for a while now. So when I saw Jolies Bobines&#8217; <a href=\"http:\/\/joliesbobines.wordpress.com\/2014\/07\/16\/bambi-tee\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bambi tee<\/a> (made with a blue version of this fabric from fifi jolipois), I thought: &#8220;No way! Where did she find this pattern?!&#8221; That&#8217;s how I discovered that Papercut patterns had released a raglan sleeve T-shirt pattern. But too good to be true&#8230; the pattern cost $25. Although there is surely a justification for this pattern&#8217;s price, personally I didn&#8217;t feel very &#8220;comfortable&#8221; with the idea of paying $25 for a T-shirt pattern. However, what I find positive in this kind of experience is the way that, when faced with certain situations, we are led to search, dig, rummage, work around, imagine, in short&#8230; find a solution!      <\/p>\n<p>My solution? Well, I found it at Hey June, with the downloadable <a href=\"http:\/\/www.heyjunehandmade.com\/lane-raglan.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Lane raglan T-shirt<\/a> pattern for \u20ac6<i>,<\/i>53<i> <\/i>($8). <\/p>\n<p><i><br \/>\nI am introducing today what has become my favourite T-shirt. In fact I have been looking for a T-shirt pattern with raglan sleeves for a while now. So when I saw Jolies Bobine&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/joliesbobines.wordpress.com\/2014\/07\/16\/bambi-tee\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bambi tee<\/a> (made with the blue version of this fabric from fifi jolipois), I asked myself: &#8220;No way! Where did she find this pattern?&#8221; Actually this is how I discovered that Papercut patterns had in their collection a Raglan T-shirt pattern. However too beautiful to be true, this pattern costs $25.<br \/>\nEven though there must be an explanation to this price, I personally think that paying 25 box for a T-shirt pattern is quite pricey. But to be honest I sometimes like having these types of challenges as it pushes me to dig, nose around, imagine, and&#8230; just look for a way out! <\/i><\/p>\n<p><i> My way out?
