OW: Base & Mid Layers
Learn how to create basic and mid-layer garments
In this course, you will learn how to create basic base and mid-layer garments. We'll focus on the essential garment creation steps: arranging, preparing, stitching, and dressing. This ensures you have a solid grasp of the core processes and concepts before moving on to more complex garment types in our Outerwear courses, where you'll apply similar techniques.
You'll explore the construction of two simple base layers: thermal leggings and a thermal top. Additionally, you'll learn to make a fleece mid-layer jacket. This course provides clear written guides for crafting the base layers and concise video tutorials for creating the fleece jacket.
