Unit Descriptor

Unit descriptor	This unit covers the skills and knowledge to draw and interpret a two-dimensional sketch of a garment, to identify construction features.

Application of the Unit

Application of the Unit	The unit applies to interpreting and drawing basic trade sketches, used by patternmakers and designers. Basic sketches or working drawings are two-dimensional, accurate drawings that show accurate details of pattern pieces and garment construction, and may be drawn freehand or with the use of measuring devices and templates. Work is conducted according to defined procedures. Work may be conducted in small to large scale enterprises and may involve individual and team activities The application of this unit is according to OHS practices of the enterprise and workplace practices, which may include: requirements prescribed by legislation, awards, agreements and conditions of employment standard operating procedures work instructions oral, written and visual communication quality practices, including responsibility for maintenance of own work quality and contribution to quality improvement of team or section output housekeeping tasks related to environmental protection, waste disposal, pollution control, and recycling This unit requires the application of skills associated with planning and organising to complete sketches. Communication and numeracy skills are used to refer to patterns and specifications and complete and label sketches. Self management skills are used to ensure conformance of own work to quality standards.
