• Drafts and intermediate patterns
• Final patterns
Reference folder - 30%
• Collated Specification sheets
• Experimental full scale, ½ scale , and 1/5th scale work
Assessment Tasks - 30%

Each unit consists of several style adaptations.
Each style requires a record to be collated and stored in an A4 size Arch folder. The record should contain the following sections:
• Full scale pattern Drafts including any intermediate stages- Labelled with all necessary information
• Completed Pattern- Accurately cut with all necessary pattern markings and information
• Specification Sheet – complete with trade quality diagrams and all relevant information necessary for garment production

Graded Assessment
A pass in each assessment will result in a grade for the student. Where a pass is achieved competency for that assessment is given. Where there are multiple assessments for a single competency the students must achieve competency (a pass) in each assessment to be deemed competent. Competency MUST be achieved in all assessments of the course for a graded result to be obtained.
