This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to develop patterns from a block using basic patternmaking principles. The unit of competency applies to the development of a variety of pattern styles utilising the basic principles of patternmaking, including dart manipulation and square blocking. Work may be conducted in small to large scale enterprises and may involve individual and team activities. Work is conducted according to defined procedures. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication..
Students will attend on campus classes as well as engage in learning activities through ECU's LMS

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), safe work practices - applying relevant standards - interpreting and applying correct pattern and garment terminology - taking measurements - identifying, selecting and using the appropriate tools and equipment for patternmaking - selecting the appropriate block and developing a pattern to demonstrate a variety of pattern styles - applying the patternmaking principles of square block and dart manipulation in developing at least two (2) patterns according to the specifications - checking pattern pieces for accuracy, including seam and ease allowances, seam match, hems and functional openings - labelling all pattern pieces, including grain lines, notches, pattern information and cutting instructions - making toile to test fit and accuracy of pattern and assessing against design specifications - making any necessary alterations to finalise pattern and check it is accurate, complete and complies with design specifications - cutting out and labelling pattern pieces accurately - documenting alterations to patterns - completing pattern specification sheets and attaching to patterns for storage - filing finished patterns in storage system.
Evidence must be provided that demonstrates knowledge of: - safe work practices and procedures and use of personal protective equipment (PPE) - relevant Australian Standards - patternmaking principles and design terminology - patternmaking tools and equipment: - pattern blocks - scissors - ruler - square rule - marker pens - hole punch - pins - fashion triangle - French curve - pattern notcher - weights - tape measure - pattern markings: - appropriate seam allowance - notching - pattern information (size, style number, cutting instructions and identity) - darts - drill holes - grain line - stitching line - style features - fabric performance characteristics - quality standards and practices - sequence of operations - 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 developing patterns from a block, 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.

Students please note: The marks and grades received by students on assessments may be subject to further moderation. All marks and grades are to be considered provisional until endorsed by the relevant School Progression Panel.
For the purposes of considering a request for Reasonable Adjustments under the Disability Standards for Education (Commonwealth 2005), inherent requirements for this subject are articulated in the Unit Description, Learning Outcomes and Assessment Requirements of this entry. The University is dedicated to provide support to those with special requirements. Further details on the support for students with disabilities or medical conditions can be found at the Access and Inclusion website.
Students please note: The marks and grades received by students on assessments may be subject to further moderation. Informal vivas may be conducted as part of an assessment task, where staff require further information to confirm the learning outcomes have been met. All marks and grades are to be considered provisional until endorsed by the relevant School Progression Panel.
Integrity is a core value at Edith Cowan University, and it is expected that ECU students complete their assessment tasks honestly and with acknowledgement of other people's work as well as any generative artificial intelligence tools that may have been used. This means that assessment tasks must be completed individually (unless it is an authorised group assessment task) and any sources used must be referenced.
Breaches of academic integrity can include:
Copying the words, ideas or creative works of other people or generative artificial intelligence tools, without referencing in accordance with stated University requirements. Students need to seek approval from the Unit Coordinator within the first week of study if they intend to use some of their previous work in an assessment task (self-plagiarism).
Working with other students and submitting the same or substantially similar work or portions of work when an individual submission was required. This includes students knowingly providing others with copies of their own work to use in the same or similar assessment task(s).
Organising a friend, a family member, another student or an external person or organisation (e.g. through an online website) to complete or substantially edit or refine part or all of an assessment task(s) on their behalf.
Using or having access to unauthorised materials in an exam or test.
Serious outcomes may be imposed if a student is found to have committed one of these breaches, up to and including expulsion from the University for repeated or serious acts.
ECU's policies and more information about academic integrity can be found on the student academic integrity website.
All commencing ECU students are required to complete the Academic Integrity Module.
In some circumstances, Students may apply to their Unit Coordinator to extend the due date of their Assessment Task(s) in accordance with ECU's Assessment, Examination and Moderation Procedures - for more information visit https://askus2.ecu.edu.au/s/article/000001386.
Students may apply for Special Consideration in respect of a final unit grade, where their achievement was affected by Exceptional Circumstances as set out in the Assessment, Examination and Moderation Procedures - for more information visit https://askus2.ecu.edu.au/s/article/000003318.
