I have included colour codes of the DMC and Anchor threads I have used, but you can use whatever brand you prefer or what you have available to you.

In this video tutorial we will be working with Running, Stem and Satin embroidery stitches to create this inspirational embroidery of Frida.

Sequin, bead, bead, Sequin…

Sequin Rows – Sequin and bead hand embroidery technique for beginners.

Sequin Rows for me are one of the most underestimated embellishment techniques I’ve come across.

Satisfaction in every stitch and the varied combinations of seed beads and sequins are surprising if not a little indulgent.

How to Create Sequin Rows

You will need: Embroidery hoop, fabric, needle, thread, sequins and size 8 seed beads.

This is the way I do it, but if anybody has any tips, tricks or comments please leave a reply below!
