Appliques and Rhinestones - Tucana 4 | Rockstars and Royalty

In this series I am showing how I made the Tucana costume. In this part I show you how I make and sew on the coloured applique stripes and how I add all the rhinstones. Subscribe for couture sewing tutorials and inspiration. This costume has been commissioned by Michael Sollis as part of the Southern Sky Project and will be worn by burlesque performer Jazida.

Welcome to the world of Rockstars and Royalty. I’m Vicky. I have worked as a couture gown, corset and costume designer for over 20 years, initially under my label 'Devotion' in the UK, then as 'Rockstars and Royalty' when I moved to Australia in 2007. During this time I’ve become know for my elaborate couture gowns and costumes, my corsetry skills, and my love of sparkles and embellishments.
In my videos and tutorials I show you how I design and create the extravagant couture gowns, corsets and costumes that I've become known for, how I upcycle and style vintage and pre-loved clothes, and how I create accessories, hair, and make up to style and complete the looks.

Beautiful work...wanted to ask about the glue you use for the rhinestones, is it better than e6000 or gemtac? Noticed you used it for bigger stones as well.

[@RockstarsandRoyalty]

E6000 fabri-fuse is my favourite glue for stoning. I find it easier to use than regular E6000 because it's a bit thinner which makes it easier to get nice small dots of glue on the fabric. The the pointy nozzle on the tube it comes in gives good control over glue size and placement as well. With big stones, I do often sew them on as well. The ones with foil backing can come off the foil after a while. I haven't used gemtac for a while, but found that it didn't hold stones on fabric as well as fabri-fuse does. But I know that a lot of people swear by gemtac so each to their own! It's fabri-fuse for me, and regular E6000 for materials that the fabri-fuse doesn't work on (metal and other hard surfaces).
