This is a bust dart from my current project. I’ve never worked with sequin-encrusted fabric before. It’s impossible to sew with a machine, mostly because the small seed beads are not needle-friendly. I’ll be constructing this garment completely by hand.

Wow… bu hand! Quite impressed and looking forward to seeing the beautiful result! ~Laurie
Ooh, this is going to be lovely.
I have sewn sequined fabric before, but not any that had both beads and sequins. I know the end results of your work will be gorgeous.
…& i just loved hearing the word “finicky” again. thats all 🙂
Oh, I’ve sewed with sequin before, and it does suck! But the finished results are wonderful!! I can’t wait to see your finished work!!
I can’t wait to see the next teaser …. 🙂
I really want to sew up some sequinned fabric, but am a bit intimidated by it. So will watch yours closely!
Hello! Wow! That looks like a lot of hard work ahead of you! My experience with sequins was brief, easier and painful, but it was just a square pannel on top of a t-shirt, your proyect looks more complicated than that, but I know it is going to be brilliant!
Intriguing! I can’t wait to see more:-)
Wow! Well done, good luck with that endeavour! I wondered how you were to sew with this fabric.
it sort of looks like chain mail, but pretty chain mail
I like that! It’ll be the (plastic) chain mail I’ve always wanted in my closet!
You can sew it by machine if you lock/anchor (with a new thread by hand) the last seed bead just outside the edge of the dart before you sew or lock the last seed bead a couple spaces away from the edge and then you just have to attach them later if they show they are missing.Good luck!!!!
