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!

DIY: Evil Eye Embroidery Patch

Another week and another embroidery tutorial!

This week we will be creating an evil eye embroidery patch.

I have included the materials and threads that 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 stitch, stem and satin embroidery stitches to create our Evil Eye Patch. We will also finish with applying iron-on adhesive so you can apply your patch to almost anything once it is finished!

The design template is full of all the details you need to complete your project!
