 Ein Grundschnitt ist eine Grundform, auf der andere Schnittmuster basieren.
 Sie werden manchmal auch als Schläger bezeichnet, obwohl Puristen argumentieren, dass ein Block und ein Schläger verschiedene Dinge sind.
 
-Grundschnitte werden in der Regel nicht so gemacht, wie sie sind, sondern dienen als Grundlage für andere Schnittmuster.
+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 Brian block.
 
 </Note>
+
+### Step 1: Mock-up Construction
+
+- Sew the front to the backs at the shoulders good sides together.
+- Matching notches, sew the sleeves to the shoulder good sides together.
+- Sew the side seams good sides together.
+
+<Note>
+
+You may need to leave the bottom of sleeve side seams open to put the garment on.
+
+</Note>
+
+<Tip>
+
+If you are making adjustments you may wish to sew the seams wrong sides together to make them easier to adjust.
+
+</Tip>
+
+### Step 2: Try it on
+
+- Try it on and check the fit by pinning the back closed whilst wearing it.
+- Make any alterations and try it on again.
+- Repeat until you are happy.
+
+<Tip>
+
+If you do not have someone to help with pinning, you may find it easier to cut the front part in two with seam allowance rather than on a fold and sew the back seam up so that you can pin in the front when trying on.  
+
+Keep an eye out for anything you keep doing whilst wearing the mock-up, are you pulling it down? Constantly adjusting the shoulder? 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.
+
+</Tip>
+
+<Note>
+  
+Remember to treat Brian as a basis rather than a final product, so adjust what you need to get the desired look.  
+For instance:
+- Change the neck line
+- Add/change the closure allowances  
+- Add a collar
+
+It is all up to you! Experiment and go forth!
+
+</Note>
+
+### Step 3: Make a paper pattern
+
+- Once happy with all your changes unpick your mockup and make a paper pattern based off of it.
+- Now you have a pattern you can use to produce a garment.
+
+<Note>
+
+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.
