Properties:
Texture: This quality tulle/mesh-backed sequin fabric is cleverly created by stitching rows of interlocking metallic sequins onto a tulle/mesh base fabric. There are selvedges of 13cm and 9cm on the linear edges. Which is excellent for utilising areas where you may wish to customise or for hems. Lightly textured with a characteristic classic sequin feel on the face side. Less textured on the fine tulle - mesh reverse. Clear nylon thread attaches the sequins on the face and fine acrylic yarn on the reverse.
Handle: This sparkling sequin fabric boasts a medium-weight and reassuring drape quality. Slight natural stretch width and bias-wise.
Drape: A reassuring drape quality.
Garment Suggestions:
Types: Imagine creating sheath-like dresses and slinky maxi skirts from Mermaid Tears. We are talking seriously stylish here, this is not fancy dress sequins.
Create full-length figure-skimming dresses for proms, red-carpet events, dance wear, Cosplay, and carnival costumes. Combine with lycra, interlock, scuba, or silky soft-touch jersey. Create the perfect Great Gatsby dress with swinging fringing and stand out like a precious gem in your creations.
Simple Bomber and kimono-style jackets and shrugs will add a flash of glamour in Mermaid Tears, lined with a quality silky soft touch lining fabric, then team with a simple camisole and jeans ensemble.
Other Uses:
Accessories: Create matching headbands, hats, purses and bags.
Furnishings: If luxe glamour isn't for you but you love the sparkle of sequins and luxury around your home, then create statement cushions with Mermaid Tears.
Use a plain backing fabric in either velvet or suede for the ideal combination. Sequin fabric cushions are all over the high street and provide added pops of sparkle to otherwise plain decors - perfect for glamorous bedrooms and dressing rooms.
Upcycling: Use your offcuts by attaching them to the panels of an old denim jacket to create a unique and fun conversational piece!
