It seemed interesting to get a more personalized business card to accompany the Opus Relinque one during my exploits, helping me to advertise myself insubmissively to this website, should the proper occasion arise.

Cutting Fabric
When a dividing line needs to be straight and ripping the material is not a valid option, cutting a little snip right into the fabric-fold might allow the picking up of a single thread and pulling it all the way out, carefully gathering and easing the woven textile as you go, to end up leaving a clear mark to cut on.
The Cathedral Cape
Assemblage
As the Mystery Project‘s border-work is composed out of very long yet narrow pieces of fabric, it would have been a terrible waste to harvest these along the length of the materials when breaking them up into multiple shorter parts could span the width of the roll, saving as much on resources as possible.
Where for this project’s velvet outer-face such orientational choice demands the combination of pieces to be turned into a small work of art, the enclosed padding is much more easily begotten by aligning tapes and merging them with small strips of lining, neatly cross-stitched through front and back.
