Gold sequin lace |
The original Gold logies dress made from this gold sequin lace fabric last year is so lovely to wear. I wore this dress to a function recently so it was time to use this fabric one more time.

Here's the original dress worn last year, |
The seams are
3/8” wide so the seams are overlocked. My original dress also has overlocked
seams and when I wore it again, as it felt so lovely, it was easy to decide to use the same seam
finish.
This lace
does move quite a bit so I cut out the lining layers first and then used these
as my pattern template over the lace.
When sewing this top together I used the underlining as my seam guide and adjusted the lace as I went along.

I used paper
scissors to cut the sequin lace fabric. The sequins are sewn on in swirls so while the
carpet did sparkle a bit as I sewed; there wasn’t a torrent of sequins. I’m still finding a sequin here and there in my sewing room.
The selvege
on this fabric has a lovely lace finish to it was, so I placed the sleeve hem and
peplum hem on it so I could make the most of this feature.
I made sure the lace finish was lower than the pattern hems.

I tried to
use the rolled hem foot on the interlining hems but the result was really bad
so I ironed the hems finely and then sewed these using a normal sewing foot.
I can pair this top with jeans or an evening skirt.
I'll show you the two earlier tops soon. I used Liberty art fabric from Minerva Crafts.
