I must admit when Grace, of The Stripe, suggested that we each try making our own Markus Lupfer-inspired sequined sweater, I was uncertain. Attempting to attach tons of tiny sequins onto a sweater seemed difficult and downright messy. But I’m known to never turn down a DIY challenge and after the first successful attempt, I’m happy to report that this tutorial isn’t nearly as difficult as it seems. Because I chose a design that covered a lot of surface area, using sequin trim was a huge time saver. Thank you, Grace, for motivating me to just go for it!
You’ll need:
- a sweater (I went two sizes up)
- 10 yards of assorted sequin trim
- pattern (downloadable here and here)
- fabric pen
- Jewel-It glue (last used here)
- scissors
- tweezers
- needle & thread (optional)
