Description
This unit covers the skills and knowledge required to develop patterns for custom-made footwear designs.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Determine pattern making requirements
- 1.1 Design requirements are interpreted from design brief
- 1.2 Design specifications are determined
- 1.3 Pattern making requirements are clarified
2 Develop patterns for custom made footwear
- 2.1 Samples of required Materials and footwear components are selected for use in patternmaking
- 2.2 Patterns specifications are made based on client's measurements and in line with design requirements
- 2.3 Appropriate techniques needed to prepare pattern are selected to ensure achievement of design
- 2.4 Patterns are prepared with reference to last construction
- 2.5 Initial upper design is made on 3D last
- 2.6 Information is accurately translated from 3D last master to 2D working patterns
- 2.7 Standard and working patterns of both upper and sole are produced in line with specifications and accepted standards and construction tolerances
- 2.8 Pattern is reviewed and modifications are made to that accurately reflect selected materials, shoe style and specific client requirements
3 Test pattern
- 3.1 A mock-up or diagnostic fitting is made with allowance for difference between diagnostic and final materials
- 3.2 Diagnostic fitting is evaluated and proposed construction and materials are reviewed in line with design and fit
RANGE STATEMENT
The Range Statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the Performance Criteria, is detailed below. Add any essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment depending on the work situation, needs if the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts.
Legislative/regulatory requirements
All work must comply with relevant Federal and State or Territory legislative or regulatory requirements.
Materials may include
a full range of leathers and other appropriate textiles and materials
Design requirements may include
budget
timing
costs
Design specifications may include
production specifications
materials
colours
components
OHS practices
OHS practices must include hazard identification and control, risk assessment and implementation of risk reduction measures specific to the tasks described by this unit, and may include:
manual handling techniques
standard operating procedures
personal protective equipment
safe materials handling
taking of rest breaks
ergonomic arrangement of workplaces
following marked walkways
safe storage of equipment
housekeeping
reporting accidents and incidents
other OHS practices relevant to the job and enterprise

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 to be considered
Demonstrates skills and knowledge to:
identify and define design lines and features
choose patterns to suit specifications and measurements
modify, check and test patterns
make prototype or toile
identify material requirements to construct footwear
communicate effectively with design team, customers, etc.
apply workplace health and safety policies in work operations
maintain accurate records
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.
