Description
This unit covers the skills and knowledge to construct stock size blocks according to size and fit specifications.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Interpret size and fit
- 1.1 Size and fit specifications and Australian Standards are interpreted and clarified with designer or relevant personnel.1.2 Base size to be constructed is identified.1.3 Base size and fit model are checked for compatibility.1.4 Size is evaluated and recorded in relation to specification of fit model, body movement and comfort.
2 Construct block
- 2.1 Appropriate drafting principles and methods are selected for block construction.2.2 Measurements of fit model are analysed and input into block drafting formulas and methodology.2.3 Ease allowance is determined.2.4 Block is constructed using patternmaking technical skills and OHS practices and checked to ensure compliance with requirements.2.5 Methods and formulas used are documented.
3 Construct and assess toiles
- 3.1 Toiles are accurately cut and constructed from block.3.2 Correct proportion, fit and balance is confirmed by fitting and necessary minor adjustments are made.3.3 Accuracy of toiles is evaluated in relation to fit, comfort and appropriate to base size specifications.
4 Develop and complete final block
- 4.1 Information from toiles, including any minor adjustments is transferred to blocks.4.2 Final blocks are completed, labelled and checked for accuracy and completeness of all necessary information, and to ensure compliance with specifications.
5 Maintain records
- 5.1 Blocks are filed and stored.5.2 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.
