Learning Outcomes

PLANNED LEARNING EXPERIENCES
1. Analysis of designs (by using a variety of media, such as trade sketches, sample garments, specifications sheets or client requirements) to identify design lines and other garment features such as collar and sleeve variations (not already covered in Pattern Development A).
2. Selecting existing patterns or appropriate blocks for use in pattern development by identifying the desired silhouettes and fit requirements from given specifications.
3. Adjusting the pattern according to fabric requirements by first checking fabric characteristics (such as the handle and drape or the amount of stretch).
4. Modifying pattern blocks according to required design and production specifications by use of different pattern making techniques such as, intermediate patterns and dart manipulation.
5. Producing accurate patterns according to garment design lines and production specifications by checking pattern measurements and other details such notches, seam allowances and grain-lines.
6. Testing and adjusting the resulting fit by sewing toiles or prototypes.
7. Finalisation of pattern pieces according to specification requirements by checking all the pattern pieces for details such as correctly positioned notches, seam allowances, style numbers, size and cutting instructions.
Up-dating records by filling in specification forms and by storing patterns for easy access.

Overview of Assessment

Overview of Assessment:
Tasks that have not been authenticated in class as the student’s own work will not be considered for assessment. Regular attendance is necessary to demonstrate that you can:
1. Establish garment silhouettes and design lines by correctly producing these in their pattern work.
2. Achieve the desired garment shapes and fit by first selecting appropriate pattern blocks (or existing patterns) to correctly reflect garment requirements.
3. Apply the principles of good pattern making and correctly use pattern making techniques by producing accurate final patterns.
4. Test the pattern and carry out adjustments to fit by constructing suitable toiles and prototypes.
5. Give and receive information in relation to pattern making processes by making correct use of pattern making terms and by following and giving instructions on specifications.
6. Maintain accurate records by ensuring that all pattern work is up to date and that it has the correct labelling in relation to production requirements
7. Follow appropriate Occupational Health and Safety standards by ensuring that the work area is free of any safety hazards.
