Description
This unit covers skills and knowledge required to construct flat patterns for millinery using measurements, mathematical calculations and geometry.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Identify required measurements
  • 1.1 Pattern pieces are identified
  • 1.2 Measurements required for pattern are identified
  • 1.3 Taken measurements are taken and documented
  • 1.4 Calculated measurements are calculated and documented
  • 1.5 All measurements are checked for accuracy
2. Select flat pattern construction method
  • 2.1 Manual construction method is considered for suitability for millinery pattern
  • 2.2 Electronic method is considered for suitability for millinery pattern
  • 2.3 Construction method is selected
  • 2.4 Patternmaking tools and equipment are selected and prepared
3 Construct millinery pattern
  • 3.1 Patterns are constructed using millinery flat pattern construction principles
  • 3.2 Taken and calculated measurements are applied to pattern construction
  • 3.3 Pattern pieces are checked for accuracy, including seam allowances, ease allowance, proportion, and seam match
  • 3.4 A test toile is made to check that design requirements are met
  • 3.5 Patterns are modified or altered according to results from the test toile
  • 3.6 OHS practices are identified and followed
4 Finalise millinery pattern
  • 4.1 Pattern pieces are labelled, including grain lines, notches, pattern information and cutting instructions
  • 4.2 Pattern specification sheet is completed according to workplace requirements
  • 4.4 Final patterns are filed or passed on to the next operation
  • 4.5 All required documentation is completed
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.
Taken measurements may include
head size
ear- to- ear measurements
front-to-back measurements

OHS practices may include
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 for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Demonstrates skills and knowledge to:
identify pattern pieces and measurements required for a millinery design
take and calculate measurements
use flat patternmaking and pattern construction methods to develop patterns for millinery
test patterns in toile form
produce accurate final flat patterns that meet design and size requirements
complete pattern specification sheet
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

Context and specific resources for assessment
Assessment may occur on the job or in an appropriately simulated environment and requires access to work areas, materials and equipment and to information on workplace practices and OHS practices.

Guidance information for assessment
This unit may be assessed independently or in combination with other relevant units.
