For Excellence, the student needs to efficiently draft a pattern to interpret a design for a garment.

This involves drafting the block and adapting the pattern for fit and desired design features in a manner that economises time, effort, and materials.

The student is drafting a pattern to interpret a swimwear design.

This student has created a production sequence to enable the bikini to be put together quickly (1) and has tried to make the best use of the fabric in the design of the pattern (2). The student has used a pattern drafting machine to efficiently create an accurate pattern (3).

The teacher has supported the student at Excellence (4).

For a more secure Excellence, the student could provide further evidence of how they achieve economies in drafting the pattern and constructing the toile.

For Merit, the student needs to skilfully draft a pattern to interpret a design for a garment.

This involves showing independence and accuracy when drafting the pattern.

The student is drafting a pattern to interpret a swimwear design.

This student has independently modified the block (1) and created a toile (2) that is an accurate representation of the final swimwear (3).

The teacher supported the student as working independently (4).

To reach Excellence, the student could demonstrate how they worked with economy, such as making sure the patterns include all pattern markings, labels, notches, and seam lines so that the garment can be put together competently and accurately.

For Merit, the student needs to skilfully draft a pattern to interpret a design for a garment.

This involves showing independence and accuracy when drafting the pattern.

The student is drafting a pattern to interpret a swimwear design.

This student has independently modified the block (1) and created a toile (2) that is an accurate representation of the final swimwear (3).

The teacher supported the student as working independently (4).

For a more secure Merit, the student could show how the Bikini bottoms were constructed accurately.

For Achieved, the student needs to draft a pattern to interpret a design for a garment.

This involves:

• establishing and taking key measurements
• drafting blocks using these measurements
• developing a pattern which interprets a design with special features
• ongoing testing and refining of the pattern for fit and style
• developing a pattern guide sheet to inform construction
• constructing a final toile and/or mock up to ensure the final pattern correctly interprets the design

The student has drafted a pattern to interpret a swimwear design.

This student has established and taken key measurements (1), has drafted a block using the measurements (2) and has trialled the block (3).

The student has developed a pattern (not shown here) and created a toile (4) which has been used for ongoing testing and refining of the pattern for fit and style.

The student developed a pattern sheet to inform construction (not shown in this exemplar) and the created the final design which has special features (inserted panels and a zip) (5).

The above is supported by the teacher (6).

To reach Merit, the student could demonstrate that they have worked independently with minimal help from peers or teacher and with accuracy.

For Achieved, the student needs to draft a pattern to interpret a design for a garment.

This involves:

• establishing and taking key measurements
• drafting blocks using these measurements
• developing a pattern which interprets a design with special features
• ongoing testing and refining of the pattern for fit and style
• developing a pattern guide sheet to inform construction
• constructing a final toile and/or mock up to ensure the final pattern correctly interprets the design

The student has developed a pattern (4) and created a toile (5) which has been used for ongoing testing and refining of the pattern for fit and style (6).

The student developed a pattern sheet to inform construction (not shown in this exemplar) and then created the final design (7).

For a more secure Achieved, the student could have used special features more effectively.

For Achieved, the student needs to draft a pattern to interpret a design for a garment.

A sample of student work is not available for this grade boundary

A student could receive this grade, for example, by drafting a pattern for a pair of trousers, they would need to take the correct measurements to develop trouser blocks (such as waist, hip, seat, crotch length, inner and outer leg length).

The student would use the measurements to draft a front and back for trouser blocks.

The student would adapt the blocks by raising the waistline and adding a fly front. The student should mark the pattern with appropriate language and/or symbols.

The student would develop a pattern guide for the trousers that includes the pattern layout for the fabric and how to construct them, including a step-by-step order.

The student’s photographic evidence of their final toile would typically show that the raised waist is a flattering fit and the fly front sits correctly.

To reach Achieved, the student would need to test and refine the pattern to ensure that the pattern includes the special features of the high waist and fly front, and for fit.
