It is not a recommendation, provider approval, compliance decision, or record of project-specific due diligence. ## 1. Peru Minedu Patronaje Program Permanent record: Source page: - Primary job: Find patterns & fit - Area: Patterns & fit - For: Both - Location or jurisdiction: Peru · Latin America & Caribbean - Access: Free download - Format: Reference - Source type: Official registry - Linked page reviewed: 2026-07-16 - Next review due: 2026-10-14 ### Best for Comparing a patternmaking curriculum, qualification claim, learning plan, or portfolio brief with Peru's published national program competencies and achievement indicators ### What the source establishes Peru's Ministry of Education currently lists Patronaje under garment manufacturing in the National Catalogue of Training Offerings, whose industry-manufacturing orientation page records a last change on June 4, 2026. The official program is code C0714-2-002 at technical level, with 80 credits and 1,760 hours. Its seven competency units cover obtaining base and graded garment patterns from a technical specification; preparing, sewing, and validating a prototype; manually or digitally laying out pattern pieces; spreading material; cutting; preparing cut pieces for production; and joining garment pieces. The connected achievement indicators name specifications, measurements, seam information, trims, finishes, base size and scale, client requirements, material optimization, cutting orders, occupational safety, and production handoff. ### Know before using This is a national program reference whose published program version is marked updated November 6, 2018, although Minedu still lists Patronaje in the current CNOF. It is not a current course-opening directory, enrollment offer, school recommendation, complete syllabus, teaching-quality assessment, professional license, practitioner certification, ready pattern, universal size or grading system, product-fit proof, or evidence that an individual completed the competencies. Confirm the current catalogue status, authorized institution, offered plan, admission, delivery, assessment, title, local recognition, equipment, software, safety, cost, accessibility, and product-specific pattern and fit evidence directly. ## 2. Australia Basic Patternmaking Competency Permanent record: Source page: - Primary job: Find patterns & fit - Area: Patterns & fit - For: Both - Location or jurisdiction: Australia · Oceania - Access: Open access - Format: Reference - Source type: Official registry - Linked page reviewed: 2026-07-16 - Next review due: 2026-10-14 ### Best for Scoping training, hiring, assessment, or evidence requirements for basic textile-product pattern development and testing in Australia ### What the source establishes Australia's National Training Register publishes current unit MSTAT3002, Develop patterns using basic patternmaking principles. The release document describes interpreting textile-product design specifications, considering fabric performance, selecting tools and equipment, developing patterns, testing the result, and making alterations. Release 1 was generated December 22, 2022 and merged two earlier units. Current Australian apparel and live-production qualifications list MSTAT3002, while the current diploma also exposes advanced individual-fit, alteration, and fit-model units. ### Know before using This is a competency and assessment reference, not an instructional course, pattern file, qualification by reading, provider recommendation, professional license, or proof that a person can perform the work. The route does not establish enrollment availability, teaching quality, fees, support, recognition outside Australia, or product-specific fit. Confirm the current unit status, packaging rules, prerequisites, registered provider, assessment conditions, local requirements, and actual evidence before relying on it. ## 3. Seamly2D Permanent record: Source page: - Primary job: Find patterns & fit - Area: Patterns & fit - For: Both - Location or jurisdiction: Global - Access: Free download - Format: Software - Source type: Open-source project - Linked page reviewed: 2026-07-21 - Next review due: 2027-01-17 ### Best for Digital pattern drafting ### What the source establishes The maintained Seamly2D repository identifies the application as GPLv3+ open-source patternmaking software for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It reads multi-size measurement files for standardized sizes and individual measurement files for custom-fit work, publishes downloadable builds and releases, and links an active website and user forum. ### Know before using Patternmaking knowledge, controlled measurement files, production conventions, and sewn fit testing are still required. The software does not validate body measurements, ease, balance, grading rules, fabric behavior, construction, or product fit. The project currently labels its user wiki manual as needing updates, so confirm current commands and file behavior against the installed release and active support channels. ## Next checks 1. Remove any route whose audience, jurisdiction, access, or scope does not match the job. 2. Open the permanent record and source page for every remaining route. 3. Recheck facts that can change after the listed review date. 4. Verify project-specific capability, terms, test evidence, and legal requirements with the responsible source or provider. 5. Record the reason for the final choice outside Stitch Authority.
