Unit of Competency LMTFD4021B - Drape fabrics to make patterns
Description This unit covers the skills and knowledge to drape fabrics to make patterns.
Employability Skills This unit contains employability skills.
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit applies to using draping techniques for creating a basic fitted foundation. This applies to the creation of fitted blocks such as a bodice and a skirt and does not include draping of set-in sleeves. Draping is conducted on a body form such as a mannequin or model.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 employmentstandard operating procedureswork instructionsoral, written and visual communicationquality practices, including responsibility for maintenance of own work quality and contribution to quality improvement of team or section outputhousekeepingtasks related to environmental protection, waste disposal, pollution control, and recyclingThis unit requires skills in planning and organising to plan and prepare for draping. Initiative and enterprise and problem solving skills are applied to conduct drape, make modifications and transfer information to paper. Communication skills are used to take measurements and record specifications. Self management skills are used to ensure results meet quality standards and design brief.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Element: Prepare fabric for draping
  • Dimensions of fabric piece required for each section/piece to be draped are estimated.
  • Warp, weft and bias of fabric are identified.
  • Fabric handling qualities are identified and assessed.
       
Element: Plan drape
  • Requirements for adding wearing ease for movement are identified.
  • Requirements for manipulating dart excess are identified.
  • Seam positioning is planned.
  • Drape plan is developed.
       
Element: Perform draping
  • Fabric is pinned on model form, relating body reference points and fabric grains.
  • Fabric is moulded and manipulated to fit model form.
  • Ease is added to allow for movement.
  • Fabric is smoothed or manipulated over contours of model form.
  • Darts and seams are formed and pinned.
  • Drape is prepared for truing.
       
Element: Transfer drape to paper
  • Drape is removed from model form.
  • Lines are drawn or ruled on drape at pin positions.
  • Drape is used as a template to create paper pattern or block.
  • Pattern or block is trued and marked.
       
Element: Produce final pattern
  • Pattern is produced.
  • Pattern pieces are checked for accuracy of seam allowances, hems, functional openings and closures, seam match, and flow-through.
  • Pattern pieces are labelled and markings completed.
  • Pattern is finalised and checked to ensure accuracy, completeness and compliance to specifications.
  • Specification sheets are completed and attached to pattern blocks for storage.
  • Finished patterns are filed and stored.
       


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:

prepare the model form for draping

prepare tools, equipment and fabric pieces

develop a draping plan

carry out the draping on the model form

transfer the drape to paper

produce and label a final pattern/block

Consistency in performance

Consistently applies skills and knowledge when:

organising work

completing tasks

identifying improvements

using workplace practices

using OHS practices

recording and reporting accidents and incidents

assessing operational readiness of equipment used and work processes

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

completing work systematically with attention to detail without damage to goods and equipment

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, assignment, 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.

Demonstrates knowledge of:

principles and concepts of patternmaking

customer and workplace requirements
