| Know before using | This is an occupational classification and labour-market reference, not a patternmaking course, assessment standard, credential, professional license, practitioner directory, job recommendation, or proof that an individual can perform the listed duties. The unit includes footwear, leather, fur, canvas, embroidery, and textile-product roles as well as garment patternmaking. Typical requirements do not establish one employer's hiring criteria, current course availability, portfolio quality, software proficiency, grading system, fit method, accessibility, wages, vacancies, or project suitability. Confirm the current NOC version, role scope, work authorization, deliverables, portfolio, references, systems, sample evidence, and acceptance criteria directly. |

| What the source establishes | 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. |
