This unit covers the skills and knowledge to develop patterns from a block using basic patternmaking principles.
National Codes, Titles, Elements and Performance Criteria
National Element Code & Title: |
LMTCL3009A Develop patterns from a block using basic patternmaking principles |
Element: |
1. Prepare workstation |
Performance Criteria: |
1.1 Workstation and seating are set up according to OH&S practices and specifications for work. |
Learning Outcomes
The unit applies to the development of a variety of pattern styles utilising the basic principles of patternmaking, including dart manipulation and square blocking.
Details of Learning Activities
The course is integrated with LMTFD4008A Construct a stock size block for garment to meet size and fit specifications to form a cluster called Pattern technology
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 as 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
In class activities - 40%
• Progressive Class work
• Drafts and intermediate patterns
• Final patterns
Reference folder - 30%
Collated Specification sheets
experimental full, ½, and 1/5th scale work
Assessment Tasks - 30%
Activity/Test
Total = 100%
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
Authentication of Work
PLEASE NOTE: work that has not been authenticated during class as your own work will not be considered for assessment. Regular attendance is necessary.
You will be given further information about the assessment tasks in class.

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
