The Sequinned Mini Skirt

Ok, so if you've come across my blog or my instagram you'll know that I have a penchant for all things bright and shiny.

So I couldn't resist this quick easy make; a sequinned mini from just over half a metre of fabric that I had left over in my stash.

This fabric from Tessuti is a woven textile which I lined below the waistband and closed with a centre back zipper.

The waistband is made out of a wide piece of black elastic which I zig-zag stitched sequin fabric onto.

I used a stretch needle which penetrated the spangles without snapping once.

It's self-drafted, it's comfy and it satisfies my shiny needs. WIN!

FABRIC GIVE-AWAY!!!! COUTURE SEQUINNED FABRIC

Who likes give aways?

Remember THIS dress I made for Melbourne Frocktails last year?

Well I've got TWO METRES left of this STUNNING stretch fabric.
I realised that as beautiful as it is, I'm not about to make another sequinned evening gown and it would be a TRAVESTY for this knockout fabric to just collect dust in my fabric collection

AND NO BODY PUTS SEQUINS IN A CORNER #popculturereference . 🖤And I thought, seeing as I’ve already made my sequinned dreams come true with this #eveninggown for #Frocktails why not share the love and let someone else have the opportunity to destroy their carpet with this beautiful, beautiful sequinned fabric?!!#worthit . 🖤 This sewing community is so generous with their knowledge and support, and I love the idea that someone else can use this fabric and feel a little JOY. . 🖤 SO ALL YOU HAVE TO DO is comment on this post and one person in the comments will be randomly chosen on Monday, January 21. . 🖤 Open to all my followers ANYWHERE the mailman can go . 🖤 Can we also just take a moment to acknowledge that I managed to go this far into a giveaway post without making reference to Oprah?

It thrills me to think that someone else can use this fabric to create something that brings them joy, just like it did me.
