| I thought I would share this excellent diagram with you as it very clearly shows a number of techniques for attaching beads to fabric. It is taken from a great booked called ‘Couture Sewing Techniques’, by Claire B Shaeffer. In the photographs below you can also see a CND pattern of stitches for attaching sequins which keeps the sequin flat to the fabric and secure. You can mark out a simple motif or pattern on your fabric and go from there. | ![Felixstowe Sewing School](data:image/svg+xml;utf8,<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="960" height="150"><rect width="100%" height="100%"><animate attributeName="fill" values="rgba(153,153,153,0.5);rgba(153,153,153,0.1);rgba(153,153,153,0.5)" dur="2s" repeatCount="indefinite" /></rect></svg>)
