I used to think sequin was gaudy, and certainly not something to wear during day for casual wear. Sure I have made a little black sequin/velvet skirt a few years ago for my sister. Back then, that was the extent of my vision for using sequins.
But now that I've spent sometime on Pinterest, I grown to love sequin. There are so many different types and so many ways to add interest to a garment using them. I hope to make a few garments that have a touch of sequins.
Here are a few of the styles that I admired and posted on my two of my Pinterest boards.
Happy Sewing!

WOW. i think i have to go play with some sequins RIGHT NOW. and those peacock feathers!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it beautiful. Must have taken hours to do.
DeleteThat white sweater with those sequins on the front!!!
ReplyDeleteAudacious.
DeleteWowza! Amazing inspiration! But I must confess that the thought of snipping all those sequins out of the seam allowances makes me queasy! :)
ReplyDeleteI know it's a pain to remove them from the seam allowances, but in the end it's pretty.
DeleteI'm like you. I have some but I just can't seem to "casual" it up. I must admit I do love it with denim. I'll take the plunge to, but you first! LOL!
ReplyDeleteOkay, Carol. I will take the plunge. Tee Hee.
DeleteEvery garment is gorgeous... mmm definitely need to add some shimmer to my wardrobe.
ReplyDeleteYes! Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWow, that sleeve with square sequins is stunning and looks like it could be done on a good quality knit tee - this posting encourages me to follow you on Pinterest! I also love your PR reviews!
