Lesson notes

Learning Objectives

Indicator: 2.3.3.LI.3 - Draft garment patterns using bodice block, skirt block and sleeve block.

By the end of the lesson, learners can:

Explain the meaning and importance of pattern drafting in garment construction, and list the essential tools used, building on their prior knowledge from Week 16.
Draft a basic bodice block on paper using their own body measurements taken in Week 17, incorporating the correct ease allowances.
Draft a basic skirt block and a basic sleeve block using standard measurement charts and their own measurements.
Identify common drafting faults (such as incorrect ease allowance, unbalanced lines, and wrong grain line placement) and explain their causes and remedies.
Demonstrate care, accuracy and neatness in handling drafting tools and producing finished pattern blocks.

Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Collaborative Learning, research, experiential learning:
1. Let learners in mixed groups explain drafting in garment design, its importance, and the tools used in drafting using appropriate resources, materials, and relevant information systems.
2. Let learners prepare a manual chart of some faults in drafting and their reasons.
3. Learners present their report in a whole class discussion

Group work, research, experiential learning:
1. With the use of relevant resources, let learners brainstorm and come out with the principles guiding the drafting of garment parts (patterns).
2. Let the groups present their findings in a whole class discussion

Project-based learning, experiential learning: Using the body blocks developed from the body measurement and the drafting principles, let learners individually draft body blocks for themselves taking into consideration all allowances.
