“The purpose of this project was to learn the techniques and functions of creating athleisure wear, using the Simplicity Sewing Pattern- Misses' Knit Sports Bras and McCall's Misses' Asymmetrical-Zip Jacket and Seamed Leggings Sewing Pattern. Currently, fashion is trending towards more athleisure wear, especially in the mainstream market. Therefore, learning techniques such as these add value for potential future employment. Creating leggings, a sports jacket, and a sports bra had its challenges, such as learning how to control the corners on an overlock, binding techniques, how stretchy garments function over woven, and other barriers. Even after following the pattern, problem-solving skills were essential to understanding how to approach and make three knit fabrics work together. After struggling with my first choice, a 4-way stretch, and a 2-way stretch, I tried two heavyweight fabrics and a rib-knit, creating this outcome. This project showcases, Our 150-year Legacy of Excellence & Empowerment because it shows how far women's sportswear has come and the changes our program has undergone with commercialized patterns.”
