The Falcon

This may look like the Millennium Falcon, but it is in fact a raglan sleeve for a custom dress I just finished making. I hate sewing set-in sleeves, but am always scared of the extra steps in drafting a raglan. Really, the extra time evens out for both.

What I am happy about is that even with this super complicated pattern, I was able to keep my cool long enough to sew it perfectly! I don't know if I'm going to completely switch my preference from set-ins, but this raglan was an exemplary model to help me get over my fear of sleeves.
