Keep the photograph with the scissors in it

There's a temptation to clear a workbench before taking a picture. Move the offcuts. Hide the thread. Put the scissors somewhere pretty. Make it look as though the finished garment appeared from nowhere. Sometimes that's exactly the wrong edit. The unglamorous objects show scale and process. A loose thread beside a carefully finished piece tells you more about making things than a spotless marble background. Clean the lens, by all means. You don't need to clean every sign of work out of the frame.
