Learning Outcomes


On successful completion of this course you will have developed and applied the skills and knowledge required to demonstrate competency in the above elements.


Details of Learning Activities

This unit requires the application of skills associated with planning and organising to develop patterns. Problem solving skills are required to determine and apply suitable patternmaking principles to achieve design requirements and identify any production problems. Communication and numeracy skills are used to interpret and apply pattern specifications and complete required documentation. Self management skills are used to ensure safe use of technology and conformance of own work to quality standards.
Learning activities include:
Draw a basic sketch, take measurements, use patternmaking tools, read, interpret and follow information on work specifications, sequence operations, meet specifications, carry out work according to OHS practice.

Overview of Assessment

In this unit you will develop a folio of work that includes class exercises in pattern making that have been assessed in class. This work will enable you to demonstrate you have the skills and knowledge to:
• understand and apply correct pattern and garment terminology
• identify, select and use the appropriate tools and equipment for
patternmaking
• select the appropriate block and develop a pattern
• apply the patternmaking principles of dart manipulation to reflect specification requirements and workplace quality standards
• cut out and label pattern pieces accurately
• apply OH&S practices in work operations
• maintain accurate records
All of these must be consistently demonstrated in your performance in class as observed by your teacher.
