Adding or moving a dart
Adjusting seam allowance
Changing colour or print of fabric
Altering the grainline direction
3. Which practice best describes Technological Modelling in pattern making?
Testing and refining pattern changes using mock-ups or samples
Only drawing final pattern pieces
Skipping prototypes and sewing final garments immediately
4. AS91350 (NCEA) focuses on:
Basic hand-stitching skills
Making advanced adaptations to a pattern to change structural and style features
Textile dyeing techniques
✏️ Part 2: Pattern Labelling & Activities
5. Match each term (left) with the correct definition or function (right). Draw lines to match.
1. Dart
2. Grainline
3. Notch
4. Seam allowance
5. Ease
A. Small marks to help align pattern pieces when sewing

🔍 Part 3: Reflection & Planning
8. Reflection: In 3–4 sentences, answer — What did you learn today about pattern adaptation and why is modelling important?
9. Planning for practice: List three resources, skills or pieces of knowledge you will need to make an advanced pattern adaptation (AS91350).
