Modification History

Release 1. Supersedes and is equivalent to LMTFD4021B Drape fabrics to make patterns

Application

This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge to drape fabrics to make patterns.

This unit of competency applies to using draping techniques to create a basic fitted foundation. This applies to the creation of fitted blocks, such as a bodice and a skirt and does not include draping of set-in sleeves. Draping is conducted on a body form, such as a mannequin or model.

Work may be conducted in small to large scale enterprises and may involve individual and team activities.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
