Tweaking the Patterns for the Tights and Hoodie
Patternmaking for the Athleisure Wear Challenge The Athleisure wear challenge is different from past month’s design challenges in two main ways. First of all the design brief required two garments created for one challenge: tights and a hooded sweatshirt.

Improve Your Illustrations, Improve Your Designs?

THIS MONTH’S MINI CHALLENGE: TACKY CHRISTMAS SWEATER
DON’T CALL IT AN UGLY CHRISTMAS SWEATER There will be nothing ugly about the Christmas sweaters I’m designing for this month’s challenge.
