The Paulina Raglan

Hi all! I was invited last month to help another designer celebrate her anniversary, Kennis of Itch to Stitch.* If you’re drawn toward classic elegance, you’ll want to check out Itch to Stitch patterns! Over the last year, Kennis has released 10 patterns including shorts, tops and dresses – and since I had just finished a dress, I thought a top would be a nice change of pace. Thinking on to my fall wardrobe, I chose to hack the Paulina* pattern.

The Paulina top is for you, “If you want comfort and style at the same time…Pair it with leggings and boots, skinny jeans and heels, or capri pants and flats…” The original design includes

  • Knit top with woven contrast
  • Comfortable raglan sleeves
  • Relaxed fit cropped bodice
  • Underlay contrast with shirttail hem
  • Peekaboo cut outs below armholes
  • Wide neckline
  • Twelve sizes (00 – 20)

In order to “hack” the pattern, I decided to switch the shirt layers so the knit was underneath and the woven was on top. The woven is a chiffon diamond print I picked up a few months ago at F&M Fabrics, TheFabricMarket.com’s local brick & mortar. You can find online it here (at $3.99/yd!)

I also chose to omit the peekaboo cut outs below armholes. The original Paulina has a very classic style, but I think the swapping of fabrics gives it a sporty element.

This top was a quick sew and everything went together perfectly. For personal preference, I will definitely be adding length to my next Paulina, but it is for sure a style I see myself wearing all fall and winter. Cozy but definitely not frumpy, which is great for everyone’s busy schedule!
