After separately cutting the pieces for the Rider Vest they undergo a set of pre-production procedures, steaming any wrinkles out of the dense black velvet, carefully ironing the fold-lines into place, leaving the pieces ready for assemblage as soon as the pressed-on interfacing sets in.
Augmenting monday’s fur legwarmers and hand-fluffies by the insertion of glow sticks through outward-curving slits into pockets withing the lining, and fixing them secure by bringing a loose backsticth through their lanyard-holes.
The choice for high-stretch velvet-jersey material allowed the undershirt’s intricate design to be incorporated into the blouse as sets of curving darts within one spacious piece of fabric.
These darts’ markings were basted together allowing to confirm the fit before being sewn fixed, cut open and trimmed short, saving most of the work, yet providing the same result as if all fourteen pieces were cut and sewn on separately.

Recollecting some of the last structural manoeuvres performed before finishing off this already burgeoning Mystery Project by stitching the decorative border tightly fixed onto the heavilly padded framework.
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.
