+title: "Brian body block: What You Need"
+- - -
+
+To make Brian, you will need the following:
+
+- Basic sewing supplies
+- About 1.25 - 1.5 metres (1.4 - 1.7 yards) of a suitable fabric ([see Brian Fabric options](/docs/patterns/brian/fabric/))
+
+This list is for a default Brian Block. If you have/are making changes to the block you may need to get additional items such as closures, binding etc.
+
+<Note>
+
+###### Brian is a block, not a pattern
+
+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.
+
+Blocks are typically not made as-is but rather serve as a basis for other patterns.
