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 to make millinery patterns | 2.1 | Identify pattern pieces and the measurements required for pattern |
| 2.2 | Select model to suit design specifications |
| 2.3 | Take measurements, make calculated measurements, document and check for accuracy |
| 2.4 | Select manual or electronic construction method to suit pattern |
| 2.5 | Select and prepare patternmaking tools and equipment |
|
3 | Construct millinery pattern | 3.1 | Construct patterns using millinery flat pattern construction principles |
| 3.2 | Apply measurements and calculations to construct pattern |
| 3.3 | Check pattern pieces for accuracy, including seam allowances, ease allowance, proportion and seam match |
| 3.4 | Make a test toile to check that design requirements are met |
| 3.5 | Modify or alter patterns according to results from the test toile |
|
4 | Finalise millinery patterns | 4.1 | Label pattern pieces, including grain lines, notches, pattern information and cutting instructions |
| 4.2 | Complete pattern specification sheet according to workplace requirements and procedures |
| 4.3 | File final patterns or pass on to the next operation |
| 4.4 | Complete all required documentation |
Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria on at least two occasions and include:
reading and following work instructions, standard operating procedures (SOPs), safe work practices
identifying pattern pieces and measurements required for a millinery design
taking measurements and calculating measurements using set formulae
selecting model to suit design specifications
using flat patternmaking and pattern construction methods to develop at least two (2) patterns for millinery
making toile to test patterns
producing accurate final flat patterns that meet design and size requirements
completing pattern specification sheet
maintaining accurate records.
Evidence must be provided that demonstrates knowledge of:
safe work practices and procedures and use of personal protective equipment (PPE)
requirements of the design and production of millinery
models:
client
house model
millinery block
mannequin
tools and equipment:
computer-aided design (CAD) system
square ruler
compass, protractor
tape measure
French curve
mitre ruler
triangles
hole punch
scissors
simple mathematical calculations using set formulae
simple geometric principles for constructing circles, squares, rectangles and angles
millinery flat pattern construction principles:
circular principles
angular principles
constructing and modifying arcs
square blocking
pivoting
contour sectioning
cut and spread
design and size requirements

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 making flat patterns for millinery, 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.
