~ How To Stitch Sequin Flowers, Style 5 ~

You Will Need :

navette sequins x 8, 8mm cup sequin x 1, rocaille beads (we used size 11° x 65), approx 1 metre of thread such as Nymo D, size 10/13 beading needle, tailor's chalk or heat erasable pen, scissors, ruler.

1. Mark a template as shown, approx 30mm across, mark the centre and eight equal radiating lines. Thread your needle,  secure the thread on the wrong side and stitch through to the front at the centre. Pick up an 8mm cup sequin and a bead and let them slide down your thread. Stitch down through the sequin. Pull the thread taut but not tight so the bead sits in the cup then stitch up where one of the lines meets the edge of the cup sequin.

2. Pick up a navette sequin and enough rocaille beads to fill the gap betweet the sequin holes, let them slide down your thread to rest against your work. Stitch down where the second hole of the navette sequin meets the line from your template. Pull the thread taut but not tight so the beads and sequin lie along the line. Making a 1mm stitch, bring the needle back up through the sequin's second hole and pull up your thread. Stitch through the rocaille beads again then stitch down through the sequin's first hole and pull up your thread. Pass the needle up where a line meets the edge of the central sequin. Tip : stitch the four cardinal point petals first then the four diagonal petals.

3. Repeat step 2 until you have stitched all 8 petals.  Secure your thread on the wrong side and trim close to your work. Use a hairdryer to erase the template if you've used a heat pen.

Options :

Substitute sequins of your choice for 8mm cup, anything goes, experiment with different shapes sizes or layers.
