-## Bent ist ein Grundschnitt, kein Schnittmuster
+<Note>
 
-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.
+###### Bent is a block, not a pattern
 
-Punkt ist, es hat keinen Sinn, Anweisungen zu geben, wie Bent erstellt wird.
+A block is a basic shape on which other patterns are based.
+They are sometimes also called slopers, although purists will argue that a block and a sloper are different things.
 
-Das liegt daran, dass Bent nicht so gemacht werden soll, wie es ist, sondern als Grundlage für deine eigenen Schnittmuster-Designs dienen kann.
+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 Bent block.

+
+<Warning>
+
+As Bent is a block it does not have any closures. So the instructions below will explain how to make a Bent with a seam down the centre front so you can pin yourself into it.
+
+</Warning>
+
+### Step 1: Mock-up Construction
+
+- Sew the fronts to the back at the shoulder seams good sides together.
+- Sew the fronts to the back at the side seams good sides together.
+- Sew the under sleeves to the top sleeves good sides together.
+- Sew the sleeve side seams good sides together.
+- Attach the sleeves to the body, good sides together and sew them in the round.
+
+<Note>
+
+You may need to ease/gather the sleeves to fit
+
+</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 front 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 alterations, you can use a dressform to pin any alterations that are hard to do on person. Just remember to try it on after to make sure it fits you.  
+
+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 Bent 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  
+- Alter the hem style
+- 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.
