Release 1. Supersedes and is equivalent to LMTML3003A Make millinery using patterns derived from hat block

Application

This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to place flat patterns derived from a hat block, onto millinery material, cut out and make the millinery.

The unit of competency applies to situations where the cutting and making of the millinery item will be from a set of patterns that have been developed for a one-off item of model millinery.

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.

  • housekeeping
  • tasks related to environmental protection, waste disposal, pollution control and recycling
  • WHS practices

Patterns include the following: 
  • flat patterns
  • a full set of patterns to be cut single layer

Materials or fabrications include one or more of the following: 
  • traditional and non-traditional millinery material
