Develop patterns from a block using basic patternmaking principles

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


The unit applies to the development of a variety of pattern styles utilising the basic principles of patternmaking, including dart manipulation and square blocking.

Work may be conducted in small to large scale enterprises and may involve individual and team activities.

Work is conducted according to defined procedures.

The application of this unit is according to OHS practices of the enterprise and workplace practices, which may include:

requirements prescribed by legislation, awards, agreements and conditions of employment

standard operating procedures

work instructions

oral, written and visual communication

quality practices, including responsibility for maintenance of own work quality and contribution to quality improvement of team or section output

housekeeping

tasks related to environmental protection, waste disposal, pollution control, and recycling

This unit requires the application of skills associated with planning and organising to develop patterns. Problem solving skills are 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.

This unit covers the skills and knowledge to develop patterns from a block using basic patternmaking principles.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the Performance Criteria, Required Skills and Knowledge, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Critical aspects of evidence

understand and apply correct pattern and garment terminology

identify, select and use the appropriate tools and equipment for patternmaking

select the appropriate block and develop a pattern

apply the patternmaking principles of square block and dart manipulation in developing patterns according to the specifications and workplace quality standards

cut out and label pattern pieces accurately

apply OHS practices in work operations

maintain accurate records

Consistency in performance

Consistently applies skills and knowledge when:

organising work

completing tasks according to instructions

working systematically with attention to detail

identifying improvements and avoiding damage

using workplace practices

using OHS practices

recording and reporting accidents and incidents

assessing operational readiness of equipment

recognising and adapting to cultural differences in the workplace, including modes of behaviour and interactions

Resource implications

Access is required to real or appropriately simulated situations, including work areas, materials and equipment, and to information on workplace practices and OHS practices.

Context for assessment

Assessment may occur on the job or in an appropriately simulated environment.

Interdependent assessment

This unit may be assessed independently or in combination with other relevant units.

Submission Requirements

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

This describes the essential skills and knowledge and their level, required for this unit.

Demonstrates knowledge of:

patternmaking principles and design terminology

pattern markings

style features

fabric performance characteristics

quality standards and practices

sequence of operations

OHS practices, including hazard identification and control measures

workplace practices

recording and reporting practices

Demonstrates skills to:

handle, receive and assemble garments

draw a basic sketch

take measurements

use patternmaking tools

consistently achieve quality and production output requirements

read, interpret and follow information on work specifications, standard operating procedures and work instructions, and other reference material

maintain accurate records

communicate within the workplace

sequence operations

meet specifications

clarify and check task-related information

carry out work according to OHS practices

The Range Statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the Performance Criteria, is detailed below. Add any essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment depending on the work situation, needs if the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts.

Legislative/regulatory requirements

All work must comply with relevant Federal and State or Territory legislative or regulatory requirements.

OHS practices

OHS practices include hazard identification and control, risk assessment and implementation of risk reduction measures specific to the tasks described by this unit, and may relate to:

manual handling techniques

standard operating procedures

personal protective equipment

safe materials handling

taking of rest breaks

ergonomic arrangement of workplaces

following marked walkways

safe storage of equipment

housekeeping

reporting accidents and incidents

environmental practices

Patternmaking tools and equipment may include:

pattern blocks, scissors, ruler, square rule, marker pens, hole punch, pins, fashion triangle, French curve, pattern notcher, weights, tape measure

Methods and formulas may include:

deviations from standard patterns

sources of pattern components

pattern derivation methods and formulas

block construction methods and formulas

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
