Sewing with reversible sequins: What you need to know
You don't need to prepare the sequin fabric for this tutorial. If you want to sew bags from reversible sequin fabric, you should remove the sequins in the seam allowance area with a seam ripper. You can find a detailed review of seam rippers here.
Save the removed sequins. If any gaps appear in the sequin structure after the bag is finished, you can fill them in with the leftover sequins by sewing them on by hand with a few stitches.
I used my LUV child's shirt pattern. It’s an absolutely universal pattern, which, by the way, also works perfectly as a romantic ruffled dress!
