Learning Outcomes


On sucessful completion of this course the student will have developed the required skills and knowledge in planning and organisingrequired to to develop patterns. Problem solving skills are required to determine and apply suitable patternmaking principles to achieve design requirements and identify any pattern problems. Communication and numeracy skills are used to interpret designs and develop and document pattern specifications. Self management skills are used to ensure safe use of technology and conformance of work to quality standards.


Details of Learning Activities

The unit applies to the development of patterns for complex fashion garments with advanced styling requirements using an existing block and applying principles of patternmaking.
Work will involve individual and team-related activities in a classroom environment.
Skills associated within the course involve self management skills, planning, organising and problem solving techniques, and suitable patternmaking principles to achieve design requirements and identify any pattern problems.
