Unit of Competency LMTCL1001B - Produce a simple garment
Description This unit covers the skills and knowledge to assemble garment components using a domestic machine and operation techniques.
Employability Skills This unit contains employability skills.
Learning Outcomes and Application The unit applies to selecting fabrics, laying up pattern pieces and cutting and assembling garments in a non-commercial environment.This unit is designed for particular application in a highly supervised environment and is suitable for selection in vocational education and training (VET) in schools programs or where access to volume production and commercial machines and processes are not an option.This unit requires the application of skills associated with communication and problem solving to identify pattern requirements and planning and organising in order to complete garment. Ability to use simple technology will also be required. Self management skills are required to ensure garment meets quality requirements.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Prepare garment components
  • Pattern is selected according to size and style required.
  • Fabric is selected to suit purpose and design of garment.
  • Sequencing of garment assembly operations is determined according to pattern requirements.
  • Fabric amount is calculated according to fabric width, pattern size and pattern requirements.
  • Pattern pieces are laid out and pinned or tacked to make best use of fabric length and to match fabric pattern, nap and weave.
  • Fabric is cut according to seam allowances and pattern markings.
  • Cut pattern pieces are checked against garment requirements and fabric characteristics, and any required corrections are made.
  • Garment components are laid out according to sequence of assembly operations.
       
Element: Prepare workstation
  • Workbench and seating are set up according to OHSpractices.
  • Machine is cleaned and checked to ensure correct operation.
  • Machine is set up and adjusted according to specifications.
  • Needles, attachments and parts are checked and worn needles or parts are identified and reported or replaced.
  • Performance of machine is regularly checked for signs of faulty operation and required action is taken according to defined procedures.
  • Other equipment required for production is identified and prepared.
       
Element: Assemble garment components
  • Components are sewn according to OHS practices, garment requirements and accepted quality standards.
  • Machine speed and work handling are controlled for type of sewing operations, fabrics and garment complexity.
  • Garment is checked for correct fit and assembly quality.
       
Element: Complete work
  • Any required hand sewing is undertaken according to pattern requirements and accepted standards of sewing quality.
  • Sewn garment is inspected, any faults identified and appropriate action taken to ensure it meets quality standards and pattern requirements.
  • Garment is pressed according to fabric requirements and garment construction details.
       


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

Demonstrates skills and knowledge to:

read commercially produced patterns and interpret them in order to select appropriate fabric length and type, and lay up and cut garment pieces

prepare workstation and work before commencing sewing operations

apply non-commercial sewing techniques

operate domestic sewing and overlocking machines for operations where the positioning, feeding and handling of work pieces involves directional changes, contouring or stopping points and handling skills required to accommodate different pattern pieces and fabric variations

apply appropriate OHS practices.

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.
