| 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. | The Government of Canada Job Bank publishes this role under National Occupational Classification 53125. The national description says patternmakers in the unit group create master patterns for garments, footwear, and other textile, leather, or fur products. Named duties include interpreting sketches, samples, and specifications; determining pattern-part number, size, and shape; drawing, laying out, and cutting master patterns; marking construction details; creating size variations with computer or drafting tools; laying patterns on fabric; cutting samples; and recording size, identity, style, and sewing instructions. The connected requirements page says secondary school plus college design and patternmaking courses or one to two years of on-the-job training are typically required, computer-assisted patternmaking courses may be required, and the occupation is not regulated in Canada according to Job Bank's records. | The official GOTS search exposes certified entities by country, field of operation, product category, and certification detail, including processing and trading scopes. |
