Sewing an Olympian with a raglan sleeve Protocol 2026 | Vykroyka.com.ua

Save

A sports jersey or bomber jacket with raglan sleeves is the standard of ergonomic cut, providing maximum freedom of movement of the shoulder girdle. In this step-by-step master class, we will analyze in detail the technological sequence of assembling the sweatshirt: from preliminary WTO of parts and stitching of raglan lines to installation of cuffs and the bottom of the product.

Features of the cut of raglan sleeves in sports jersey

Unlike a classic set-in sleeve, raglan continues to the neckline, forming a soft, continuous shoulder line. When cutting, it is important to strictly observe the direction of the loop column of the knitwear in the center of the sleeve.

Step-by-step assembly: raglan seams and side cuts

1. Align the control cuts and sew the front and back raglan seams using a 4-thread overlocker with a differential of 1.0–1.1.
2. Press raglan seam allowances to the sleeve side or press open when using a finishing stitch.
3. Using a single stitch, sew the side sections of the front/back and the bottom seams of the sleeves.

Sewing in a detachable zipper and connecting to a collar

The side allowances are strengthened with a thin adhesive filler, after which the zipper is stitched, ensuring that the seams of the neckline and the bottom waistband match.

Installation of belt and cuffs from cashcorse

The cuffs and waistband are cut out of elastic cash-corse with a coefficient of 0.75–0.80, sewn into a ring and evenly stitched with an overlock stitch with a slight stretch.

Tailor's advice
To prevent the raglan neck from stretching out when wearing, be sure to place an elastic silicone tape or quilt along the back of the neck. And you can download the exact patterns in the catalog ready-made patterns Vykroyka.com.ua.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Which knitwear is best to use for an Olympic jersey?
2-thread footer with lycra or thick 3-thread loop footer, as well as sports elastic softshell jersey are ideal.
