Here is the finished skirt I started for Bella, inspired by Natalie Chanin's work. The printed jersey needed a *lot* of beading in order for the sparkle to show, but that was okay with me because it turns out I love beading! I beaded only the front center panel, thickest at the bottom and tapering up about eight inches. And do they make it swing? Yes.
So very pretty!
ReplyDeleteI would imagine knowing when to stop adding beads...that is the trick!
Pretty. I love a touch of sparkle.
ReplyDeleteThanks for showing it!
ReplyDeleteI dumped out my buttons last night, looking for one, and I all of a sudden thought what I could do with all those tiny bright plastic ones - "bead" the hem of my daughter's skirt! You've inspired me, Anna.
It looks really pretty! What a great idea to bead on knits. I'd love to see what the whole skirt looks like....does the beading make it trickier to wash?
ReplyDeleteSuch a joy to have have people to sew for! The skirt is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteVery nice.
