Description
This unit covers skills and knowledge required to place flat patterns derived from a hat block, onto millinery material, cut out and make the millinery.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Prepare millinery tools and equipment and work area
  • 1.1 Prepare work station according to OHS practices
  • 1.2 Select and collate patterns and materials orfabrications according to specifications
  • 1.3 Select tools and equipment
  • 1.4 Prepare millinery materials or fabrications and cutting tools and equipment
2 Spread materials or fabrications and place millinery patterns
  • 2.1 Materials and fabrications are collected and checked for quality, width and pressing and steaming requirements
  • 2.2 Cutting requirements are confirmed with design specification and pattern information
  • 2.3 Materials or fabrications are spread single layer, and adjusted according to pattern requirements
  • 2.4 Materials or fabrications are checked for faults and required action taken to eliminate or isolate faults
  • 2.5 Full patternsare placed on materials or fabrications according to specifications, ensuring that Left and Right side patterns are according to requirements of an asymmetric design if relevant.
  • 2.6 Pattern shapes are marked on materials and fabrications according to requirements of the material and job
3 Cut out millinery pattern shapes
  • 3.1 Materials and fabrications are cut using cutting equipment in accordance with requirements for the operation
  • 3.2 Cut work is inspected, any faults identified and appropriate action taken to ensure the cut pieces meet the required quality standards
  • 3.3 OHS practices are followed to prevent accidents and to eliminate risks to personal safety
4 Assemble and join all cut millinery pieces together
  • 4.1 Assembly process is planned
  • 4.2 Work pieces are laid out in sequence
  • 4.3 Machinery for assembly process is set up and operated in accordance with type of operation, fabric and OHS practices
  • 4.4 Cut pieces are joined together in accordance with work plan and quality standards and procedures
  • 4.5 Action is taken to either reject or correct faults
  • 4.6 Sewn millinery is blocked, moulded, and sized according to specifications
5 Finish millinery
  • 5.1 Millinery is trimmed according to design requirements
  • 5.2 Labels are applied
  • 5.3 Records are completed
