Sequin appliqués are spotted all over the London streets on denim and bags!
MATERIALS: + Felt + Threads + Sequins + Sequin trim + Chalk pencil + Scissors + Thimble + Needle + Bead marker pen + Pattern
With the chalk pencil, transfer the flower pattern to the felt.
With closely spaced zigzag stitch and threads in the colours of the sequins, stitch along the drawn lines.
Hand sew the sequin trim to the flower petal.
Hand sew individual sequins in place, beginning at the lower edge and overlapping them like shingles.
On the stem, stagger the individual sequins slightly. Always knot thread ends securely.
After all areas have been filled with sequins, carefully cut out the flower, along the zigzag stitching.
Draw the pistils with the bead marker pen and let dry. The eye ("download template here":) is made in the same manner.
We attached our appliqués with double-sided adhesive tape. If you prefer, they can also be sewn on or ironed on, with the help of fusible web.
