Cut fabrics for prototype designs
Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: June 2024
The unit applies to situations where single garments or only a couple of layers of fabric may be cut. The marker may be developed directly on the fabric lay or planned separately and applied. Cutting tools and equipment would include dress maker's shears, electric cutting tools and rotary cutters.
Work involves some discretion, initiative and judgement.
Completion of sewing units LMTCL2007B Lay up, mark and cut uncomplicated fabrics and lays and LMTCL3005B Lay up and cut complicated fabrics and lays would result in a higher level ability and could therefore be used as evidence of competency against this unit.
Work may be conducted in small to large scale enterprises and may involve individual and team-related 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 skills in planning and organising to prepare and cut fabric for sample designs. Communication skills are used to interpret and apply instructions, and problem solving skills are used to identify fabric faults and quality problems. Self management skills are applied to ensure quality standards are met.
This unit covers the skills and knowledge to lay up, make marker and cut work for sample designs where only a couple of garments would be cut out at a time, as required by the designer to test design or pattern.
You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

Evidence Required
List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the Performance Criteria, Required Skills and Knowledge, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package. | |
Critical aspects of evidence | Demonstrates skills and knowledge to: check work against work specification or cutting order, and workplace practices set up manual or computer drafting equipment before commencement of marker making operations make markers involving patterns, fabrics and lays using manual or computer techniques prepare cutting table and work before commencing cutting operations use cutting techniques use lay-up techniques apply OHS practices in work operations maintain accurate records |
Consistency in performance | Consistently applies skills and knowledge when: organising work completing tasks identifying improvements using workplace practices using OHS practices recording and reporting accidents and incidents assessing operational readiness of equipment used and work processes recognising and adapting to cultural differences in the workplace, including modes of behaviour and interactions completing work systematically with attention to detail without damage to goods and equipment |
Resource implications | Access is required to real or appropriately simulated situations, including work areas, materials and equipment, and to information on workplace practices and OHS practices. |
Context for assessment | Assessment may occur on the job or in an appropriately simulated environment. |
Interdependent assessment | This unit may be assessed independently or in combination with other relevant units. |

Assessment Tasks
Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.
This describes the essential skills and knowledge and their level, required for this unit. |
Demonstrates knowledge of: characteristics of fabrics and other materials used in garment assembly fabric faults pattern identification computer operations involved in marker making, copying and storage quality standards and fabric/garment handling procedures OHS practices, including hazard identification and control measures workplace practices recording and reporting practices |
Demonstrates skills to: draft markers using either manual or computer techniques handle, receive and assemble garments read, interpret and follow information on work specifications, standard operating procedures and work instructions, and other reference material maintain accurate records communicate within the workplace sequence operations meet specifications clarify and check task-related information carry out work according to OHS practices |
The Range Statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the Performance Criteria, is detailed below. Add any essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment depending on the work situation, needs if the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts. | ||
Legislative/regulatory requirements | All work must comply with relevant Federal and State or Territory legislative or regulatory requirements. | |
OHS practices | OHS practices must include hazard identification and control, risk assessment and implementation of risk reduction measures specific to the tasks described by this unit and may include: manual handling techniques standard operating procedures personal protective equipment safe materials handling taking of rest breaks ergonomic arrangement of workplaces following marked walkways safe storage of equipment housekeeping reporting accidents and incidents other OHS practices relevant to the job and enterprise | |
Cutting equipment may include: | dressmaker's shears electric rotary and upright cutters cutting mats | |
Lay-up and marking equipment may include: | computers and required software patterns fabric marker card or paper weights clamps | |
Fabric may include: | woven fabrics knitted fabrics fabrics with a variety of finishes | |
Required action may include: | cutting out faults using splicing (overlap joining) other appropriate repair techniques |
Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
