Create pattern to meet design specifications applying advanced pattern-making principles

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


The unit applies to the development of a pattern from an existing block, using advanced pattern-making principles, including contouring, square blocking and pivoting.

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

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 pattern-making 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.

This unit covers the skills and knowledge to create patterns using an existing block, and applying advanced pattern-making principles.

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

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

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assingnment, checklist) and due date here

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.

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.

other OHS practices relevant to the job and enterprise

Pattern-making tools and equipment may include:

blocks

scissors

square rule

marker pens

hole punch

pins

fashion triangle

French curve

pattern notcher

weights

tape measure

Style features may include:

garment type, collar, sleeves, yoke, sides, openings, neckline, buttons, seams, zips, gathers, pleats, panels, tucks

Advanced pattern-making principles include:

pivoting

square blocking

contouring

Pattern markings include:

appropriate seam allowance

notching

pattern information (size, style number, cutting instructions and identity)

darts

drill holes

grain line

stitching line

Methods and formulas may include:

deviations from standard patterns

sources of pattern components

pattern derivation methods and formulas

application of current industry practice

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.
