They are sometimes also called slopers, although purists will argue that a block and a sloper are different things.
Blocks are typically not made as-is but rather serve as a basis for other patterns so the instructions below will not go in depth about closures or finishes and are for the default Titan block.
- Join the outseam (the seam that runs along the side of your leg) of the front and back.
- Join the inseam (the seam the runs along the inside of your legs) of the front and back.
- Du hast jetzt ein Bein. Wiederhole die Schritte für das andere Bein, **und stelle dabei sicher, dass die beiden Beine Spiegelbilder voneinander sind**.
- Turn one leg with the good side in, and the other with the good side out.
Keep an eye out for anything you keep doing whilst wearing the mock-up, are you pulling it down? Constantly adjusting the shoulder? etc. etc. Things like these are signs of where the pattern may need adjusting.
Sometimes you may need to wear the mock-up for an extended amount of time to get a better sense of the fit so don't be afraid to walk around in it for a couple of hours.
It is best practice to make a paper pattern from the mock-up if you have made any alterations, as this will allow you to clean up any lines but also means you have a pattern that you can keep producing garments from.
