Ready to get sporty? In this session, our students designed new uniforms for the Canadian Pan-Am athletes. We got some advice from local fashion designer Meg Kinney who suggested that we think about who you are designing for and what they need/want. She recommended jumpsuits for our athletes.

Ready, get set, glue!! A gymnastics outfit evolves.
This is a pattern drafting exercise. The idea is to put together a rough working idea for a uniform -not a finished garment. Our students have to fashion something fabulous using textiles, bits of old garments, ribbons, sticky back plastic, foam sheets, mylar, tape, glue and pins.
Little red soccer shorts.
Stylish hat!
Love these groovy red boots!
...and the bold graphic design on this athlete's cape.
Some of the students took on our special challenge to move beyond the Maple Leaf by adding some nature elements into their design.
At the end of the class, it was time for the students to strut their stuff on the fashion runway. They struck a pose with their teammates, tried on a new persona, or invented a special anthem. Every kid was a winner.
Goodbye to our awesome students this session.
