Decorating designs for clothes
I have a reasonably large stock of beads and sequins. I want to
design a motif for a stretch knit top using sequins and seed beads. Can someone direct me to a book (or website) that could give me the method for this please? For instance, should I draw the design on that press-on rip-off craft material, sew on the beads etc. through it and then rip off? I am quite familiar with beading as such (I make earrings for sale) but have no idea about designs for dresses or tops. Thanx Daisy |

But fishing around on google.ca it appears that TMTOWTDI. you might ask on: news:alt.sewing news:rec.crafts.beads about ppl's preferences and experiences. -- but the edge is still Out there. Or maybe it's In... HST (1967) when i got to the edge , i built a deck % (2005) |

Dear Daisy,
Try this. transfer design to tracing paper. Use a spray adhesive (3M is my favorite) on the back of the tracing paper. Let it set until it's dry yet tacky or pin the tracing to the fabric if you think the adhesive might harm it. Baste the design on the fabric with a contrasting thread. ussing the stitch length to mark bead placement. I hope this helps. Bridget http://www.stores.ebay.com/treasurenecklaces |
