This way I did it is a bit time
consuming. HOWEVER, I know they sell
already-sequined- fabric but they don’t here where I live so I bought a bag of
diamondy looking sequins and I loved them so much that I sewed them on one by
one J
OK, you need:
SEQUINS
needle/thread
cardigan
fabric to sew the sequins on
First you will cut out your shape. Either an oval or
heart. Don’t make it too big/too
small. You might want to measure the width up to your sleeve size. *a good tip: rub normal white glue on
the edges to keep the edge of your shape from fringing.*
Start from the bottom, make your way around the heart
clock-wise, or counter-clock wise.
I sewed mine on one facing up, the next facing down, and so on
and so on. It was just easier for me this way.
Repeat this step for the entire shape.
Once you’re finished with the first layer, start the same way
you did with the second layer. Over
lap the sequins a little, to ensure FULL sequin coverage. With no white
spaces.
Continue J
Pretty soon you
will see it all coming together.
It’s ok if you
loose your heart shape while filling in your heart.
Soon, (well not
that soon ;) ) you will have your 2 sequin heart shapes ready to sew onto your
cardigan.
Put on your
cardigan, and bend your elbows. Have
someone draw a dot right where your elbow creases. This is how you will know where to sew on
your hearts.
Once it’s done it
looks So FAB.
It just really
adds so much CHIC to this cardigan and I love it.
And that,
ladies, is how you put a little sparkle into your wardrobe.
From your
one&only,
