Learning Outcomes


In this unit you will be required to develop the skills and knowledge as it applies to the construction of a range of blocks for use in garment production to meet size and fit specifications. Blocks are used as the basis for patternmaking to develop new styles.


Details of Learning Activities

The course is integrated with LMTFD4010B Create pattern to meet design specifications
applying advanced patternmaking principles to form a cluster called Pattern & Block Design.
Activities will include construction of blocks and toiles to:
• interpret size
• measure fit model
• construct and check blocks
• develop and adjust toiles
• communicate effectively with design team, customers, etc.
• apply OH&S practices in work operations
• maintain accurate records

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.
