ATV: Athleisure
Learn how to construct common athleisure details
In this course, you will learn to construct common athleisure garment detail for jackets and joggers/sweatpants. After completing this course, you will be able to identify, organize and recognize workflows that you can apply to other garment types with similar details.
You will begin learning on bottoms details like pocket, waistband and drawcord variations. Next learn how to tackle a paneled jacket and add zippers and hood variations to the jacket.
Check your retention throughout the course with two knowledge quizzes.
Test your knowledge by completing the tracksuit activity. You can refer to the written guide as a step-by-step guide as you are creating the tracksuit or to check your work once it is completed.
