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.
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1 | Determine job requirements | 1.1 | Follow standard operating procedures (SOPs) |
| 1.2 | Comply with work health and safety (WHS) requirements at all times |
| 1.3 | Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) in accordance with SOPs |
| 1.4 | Identify job requirements from specifications, drawings, job sheets or work instructions |
|
2 | Prepare drape structured over-garments | 2.1 | Select and prepare draping tools and equipment and prepare work area |
| 2.2 | Select body form that is one size larger than actual size and prepare by applying additional padding required of the design (e.g. shoulder pads) |
| 2.3 | Mark body reference points with tape on body form |
| 2.4 | Plot design lines from working drawings onto body form, using narrow tape |
| 2.5 | Develop working drawings and check measurements |
|
3 | Plan drape | 3.1 | Prepare fabric for draping |
| 3.2 | Identify requirements for adding ease and for manipulating dart excess |
| 3.3 | Plan seam position and develop drape plan |
|
4 | Perform structured draping operations | 4.1 | Pin fabric on body, relating reference points and fabric grains |
| 4.2 | Perform sequential structured draping operations |
| 4.3 | Remove drape from model |
| 4.4 | Consult with appropriate personnel, as required, and ensure quality work practices |
| 4.5 | Finalise drape and direct to next production process |
Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria, and include:
reading and following work instructions, standard operating procedures (SOPs) and safe work practices
applying relevant standards
plotting design lines from working drawings onto body form, using narrow tape, developing working drawings and checking measurements
preparing fabric for draping, identifying requirements for adding ease and for manipulating dart excess
planning seam position and developing drape plan
pinning fabric on body, relating reference points and fabric grains and performing sequential structured draping operations for a one-off garment that goes from drape to garment, and a prototype that goes from drape to flat pattern for small volume production
removing drape from model, consulting with appropriate personnel as required and ensuring quality work practices
finalising drape and directing to next production process.
Evidence must be provided that demonstrates knowledge of:
safe work practices and procedures and use of personal protective equipment (PPE)
Australian Standards for patterns and garment construction
principles and concepts of patternmaking
customer and workplace requirements
cost efficiency in relation to patternmaking
range of typical garment fabrics, including weight and other characteristics
partial flat pattern construction or blocks to complement the drape, such as with the development of sleeves and collars
design schematics:
the design lines as depicted in the fashion illustration
design lines transferred onto the dress form using narrow tape
marker making procedures
cutting and garment construction
draping tools and equipment:
body form
narrow tape
shoulder pads
tape measure
pen/pencil
scissors
square rule
marker pens
hole punch
pins
fashion triangle
French curve
pattern notcher
weights
quality practices
workplace procedures
recording and reporting practices.
Assessors must:
satisfy the assessor competency requirements that are in place at the time of the assessment, as set by the VET regulator
have vocational competency in structured draping, at least to the level being assessed, with relevant industry knowledge and experience.
Assessment should occur in operational workplace situations. Where this is not possible, or where personal safety or environmental damage are limiting factors, assessment must occur in a sufficiently rigorous simulated environment reflecting realistic operational workplace conditions. This must cover all aspects of workplace performance, including environment, task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills and job role environment skills.
Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.
Conditions for assessment must include access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required, including relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications associated with this unit.
