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

In this course you will be involved in theoretical and practical tasks.
You will develop the skill to -
• measure and assess fit requirement
• develop patterns from a base size block
• determine and Interpret design lines and features
• create, check and test patterns
• standard operation procedures to label and identify final pattern components
• maintain accurate records though development of student notes and course hand outs
• Use trade sketches to identify information and finalise pattern specification sheets
•recording and reporting practices
•You will be expected to attend, participate and complete each progressive task to the required standard, to be eligible to be assessed and to continue with the next task.
• As well as class activities you will be required to undertake research and assessment practise outside of regular class times.
• You are reminded of the learning expectation that you will complete an equal amount of research time outside of class as you do in class to demonstrate your understanding and to be deemed competent in this course.
