Can you sew raglan sleeves, too?

Dear users, dear authors,
I already knew that you can crochet or knit raglan sleeves from the top or the bottom. Can the raglan technique actually be used in sewing as well?

Since, as far as I know, "raglan" refers to the armhole, you can sew that too.

That’s my theory, since I don’t sew.

Of course, you can sew raglan sleeves, too. It’s actually a very simple way to create a sleeve opening without having to sew curves. I especially love sewing raglan sleeves on jersey T-shirts.

This little dress, for example, has raglan sleeves (photo by me, made by me)

I thought raglan was only relevant for crocheting or knitting.
Good to know that you can use it in sewing, too.

Of course! Raglan is a popular sewing pattern for jackets, sweaters, and shirts—here’s a raglan shirt example.
