Learning Outcomes
In this unit you will develop the skills and knowledge required to develop a variety of pattern styles utilising the basic principles of patternmaking, including dart manipulation and square blocking.
You will also develop the required skills associated with planning and organising to develop patterns. Problem solving skills as required to determine and apply suitable patternmaking principles to achieve design requirements and identify any production problems. Communication and numeracy skills are used to interpret and apply pattern specifications and complete required documentation. Self management skills are used to ensure safe use of technology and conformance of own work to quality standards.
Details of Learning Activities
The course is integrated with LMTCL2010B Modify patterns to create basic styles to form a cluster or learning program called Pattern Technology
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 style variation and detail
• Assess silhouettes
• Modify 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.
