Kathy,
Here is a picture of my practice petals/flowers made with sequins (which are left over from more than 35 years of raising four daughters, and a half-dozen foster daughters):
I had a hard time figuring out how to lay the sequins and sew them down tight. My thread would get caught in other sequins and hopelessly tangled. The petals aren't aligned in a circle as well as I would have liked, but I guess flowers in nature aren't perfect either... After a few new beginnings, I got the hang of it!
I don't have much variety in the sizes and colors of the sequins I have on hand, so will either need to plan the colors of my beaded monogram (Task 6b) carefully, or purchase some new sequins.
It was fun though to learn how to make these new large and flashy flowers!

I love that you have a stash because of your girls...my grand-daughter (17 now) still has beads and baubles in my stash as well. These looks great. My only advice is to have the one sequin against the fabric, flipped so that it faces down. Hugs, Kathy
ReplyDeleteI especially love the pattern on the top. How many size sequins did you use to make these?
