1.1.1 flat pattern
1.1.2 drafting
1.1.3 draping
1.2 investigate draping terminology; e.g., notch, clip, slash, trueing
1.3 determine basic tools and equipment; e.g., awl, hip curve ruler, L-square, notcher, style tape
2 experiment with elements of draping fabrics
2.1 determine the hand of woven fabrics, considering the:
2.1.1 lengthwise grain
2.1.2 crosswise grain
2.1.3 bias
2.1.4 true bias
2.2 determine the hand of knitted fabrics
2.3 identify terminology of placement lines, including:
2.3.1 apex
2.3.2 centre front
2.3.3 princess lines
2.3.4 waistline
2.3.5 neckline
2.3.6 shoulder
2.3.7 centre back
3 perform draping of selected basic patterns, e.g., skirt, pants, bodice or dress, culminating with fitting and construction of a muslin
3.1 recognize the grain and crossgrain of the fabric in relation to the design chosen; e.g., bust level line, shoulder blade level line, direction and placement of darts, hipline of pattern
3.2 use a flat piece of fabric to fit the curves of body
3.3 take the required measurements accurately
3.4 drape sloper
3.5 true the drape
3.6 apply design changes to the draped sloper
4 demonstrate and apply knowledge and skills by creating a draped fashion item
4.1 create a paper pattern from the draped sloper, applying design features
4.2 label the pattern pieces, including:
4.2.1 name; e.g., bodice front, sleeve
4.2.2 grainline
4.2.3 pattern markings
4.2.4 cutting information
4.3 produce an instruction sheet for:
4.3.1 layout

4.5 complete the project in muslin, demonstrating:
4.5.1 construction techniques
4.5.2 fit
5 apply basic construction skills at an appropriate level in assembling a garment
5.1 demonstrate management skills
5.2 use resources appropriately
5.3 identify and demonstrate the use of three draping techniques
6 demonstrate safe and proficient use of sewing equipment, pressing equipment, cutting tools and sewing notions
