Regardless of the mode of delivery, represent a guide to the relative teaching time and student effort required to successfully achieve a particular competency/module. This may include not only scheduled classes or workplace visits but also the amount of effort required to undertake, evaluate and complete all assessment requirements, including any non-classroom activities.
Pre-requisites and Co-requisites
LMTCL3009A Develop patterns from a block using basic patternmaking principles
Course Description
This unit covers the skills and knowledge to create patterns using an existing block, and applying advanced patternmaking principles.
The course is integrated with LMTFD4015A Create Pattern from a Block to meet customer specifications to form a cluster called Pattern & Block design

Learning Outcomes
The unit applies to the development of a variety of pattern styles utilising the basic principles of patternmaking, including dart manipulation. Patterns are created in a simulated workarea meeting specification requirements.
Details of Learning Activities
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 pocket, collar and sleeve variations.
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 of the fabric)
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 obtaining 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.
8. Up-dating records by filling in specification forms and by storing patterns for easy access.

Overview of Assessment
Each unit of learning consists of development of patterns for several style adaptations for a range of garments
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
Assessment Tasks
In class activities - 40%
Progressive Class work
• Drafts and intermediate patterns
• Final patterns
Reference folder - 20%
Collated Specification sheets and1/5 scale work
Assessment Tasks - 40%
Activity/Test
TOTAL: 100 %
Assessment Matrix
Other Information
Out of class work
Assessment will involve research outside of Class time.
Out of class work facilitates learning in a self paced manner and forms part of the overall achievement of the competencies in the course..
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.
Grade Mark Description
HD > = 80 High Distinction (Competency Achieved)
DI 70 - 79 Distinction (Competency Achieved)
CR 60 - 69 Credit (Competency Achieved)
PA 50 - 59 Pass (Competency Achieved)
NN < 50 Fail (Not Yet Competent)
CA Not Applicable Competency Achieved
NYC Not Applicable Not Yet Competent
