There is evidence that small roundels of pure gold were decorated with Indian Sari even in 2500 BC, similar discs have been found in Egyptian tombs. Some theories claim that Petka – this descendant of the small coins, which were sewn to clothing. This was done not only in order to demonstrate their wealth, but also to all the time to keep it to yourself. It is also thought that the brilliance of precious metals drives away evil spirits. Therefore, we cannot say that Palka – is a modern invention. But of course, she is much changed.

Sequins embroidered outfits crowned heads, and in the 1920s they were at the height of fashion. But wearing a dress was not easy – because then the shiny rims made only from metal, and the weight of the suit was significant. Soon there was a light sequins out of gelatin, but when they heat up or get wet – and they melted.

Features of work with fabric

  • Prefer clean, simple silhouettes with a minimum of seams. This is caused not only by the fact that the fabric is difficult to work with, but also the fact that the complexity of cut will supercharge the way and divert attention from the glitter sequins.
  • Carefully spoon the fabric before starting to cut. Be sure to arrange the sequins in one direction and face down. It is impossible to simultaneously cut two parts. Also, in the process, you will have many pieces of sparkles, so put a cloth or tape for ease of cleaning and wear sunglasses to avoid damage to the eyes. Leave at least 2 cm as seam.Sequins quickly blunt scissors, so don't use your favorite.
  • Thin, soft sequins, you can sew a thick sewing needle.
  • Sequins made of a dense material, it is better keen the seams and cut them along this line that the sewing process was quick and there were no broken needles. But do not cut the thread that holds them, and cut themselves plastic roundels. It is also advisable to wear goggles during operation.fabric with sequins
  • Sew slowly zigzag stitch. Never use a serger.
  • If the seam line you have formed bald patches, sequins cut from a spare piece of fabric and tab them manually where required. If some sequins are bent and sticking out, cut them with small scissors.
  • When Ironing seams be very careful: sequins are made of plastic and can easily melt, so set the iron on low and use a cotton liner.
