Sequins and More Sequins
Sequins from The Collection |

Pocket Full of Stitches has new sequin shapes and colors for The Collection on display.

As you know from my Sequin Sizer article, 2mm sequins cover about 2 thread intersections on 18 count canvas while 4mm sequins cover about 4 thread intersections. That makes the 2mm sequins pretty small and a bit difficult to handle. They cling to each other and to my fingers but they are so pretty, I don't care. The 4mm sequins are much easier to deal with but each size is equally pretty. These are good quality sequins.

I used the 2mm sequins from The Collection on Miko for her hair dangles. I held them down with size 14/0 beads (sometimes written as size 14) from Sundance. Size 11/0 beads (approximately the size of Mill Hills' Magnifica bead line, for example) completely cover 2mm beads. Just a hint for those trying to pair up beads and sequins....
