How to Sew a Sequin Skirt - Sewing with Sequin Fabric

[@MsKreynold]

The only tutorial to mention needle size! Ty!

[@Mellysews]

I generally don't mention needle size because I almost always use the same size needle. I only mention when I deviate from it. More here mellysews.com/how-to-choose-sewing-machine-needles/

Thank you for sharing this tutorial! After shopping for a sequin cocktail dress and coming up empty handed, I decided to make my own and had no idea how to handle the fabric! This video has explained so much and now I feel confident enough to finally cut into my fabric, which has been sitting on my cutting table all week, waiting for me to find the courage! Lol

[@Mellysews]

Glad it's helpful, good luck with your dress!

What a beautiful skirt! Great video, you had lots of helpful tips for working with sequin fabric. I haven't used your method of skirt drafting yet, but I have used another tutorial. It was easier than I realized and makes all the difference when using my own measurements to create a pattern.

[@Mellysews]

Yes, drafting your own takes a lot of the fit guesswork out!

[@alethan5355]

This was so helpful, because I got the fabric and didn't know what to do cutting between the sequins did not seem like a great idea turns out I have the small ones, so I was thrilled !!!

[@Mellysews]

Glad it was helpful!

Thanks for a great tutorial! I’m half way through mine! Made the sloper and my own pattern from my measurements! You gave me the confidence, I’m so grateful! The sequin skirt part is way too big, but I didn’t allow for the amount of stretch in my fabric. Just have to fix that and I’m all done! It’s exciting!

[@Mellysews]

Yes, when changing from non stretch to stretch fabric you need to take in some, but it's much easier to take in than to try to make something that is too small fit!

[@trishaleman8301]

Melly Sews your instructions are so easy to follow as well! I’m a quilter normally. I’m enjoying this process so much! Thanks again!

You don't use serger for sequins fabric?

[@Mellysews]

Not unless you've completely removed all sequins from the seam allowances and make sure that even the edges of the ones that remain won't touch your blade. It's definitely harder to try and use a serger than to just use a regular sewing machine.

[@JeTuaAmos]

Was the sequin fabric a knit as well?

[@Mellysews]

Yes

[@JeTuaAmos]

@@Mellysews Thanks for responding. Did you use a zig-zag stitch?

[@yolagurl02]

Where did you get the fabric?

[@Mellysews]

I think Joann, but it was over a year ago so this exact fabric probably isn't available.

[@leslieinadress]

Thank you for this awesome video!

[@Mellysews]

Thanks for watching!

[@meaghanlarsen1618]

Where did you buy your fabric from?

[@Mellysews]

This one is from Joann.

[@meaghanlarsen1618]

Thank you, love that it could be at a store near me. I was afraid it was from a speciality fabric store

[@meaghanlarsen1618]

Knit Lining from Joann’s too?

[@meaghanlarsen1618]

Can I use a bought skirt pattern? How do make knit lining with no darts

[@Mellysews]

Lining is from Joann too. Watch this video to see how to make the lining pattern kzbin.info/www/bejne/pp7VaYl7m7-crbs
