Time to crack on adding Coins

Upper and Lower Done

I have finally got all the Coins added to the Lower Tier of the Skirt. It is definitely looking a bit more fancy.

Gold Beads

I have purchased some Gold Beads  off our local market to go with the ones I already have at home.

Choice of Colours

I have a Choice of Colours to use. I can either continue using Black or I can use the Yellow to go with the Gold Beads.

Thread Teardrop

I have decided to go with the Black Thread as it is more forgiving. I make a Knot in one end then Thread the Teardrop on to it. I then add two small Gold Beads.

Ready to Sew

I have made a group and am now Ready to Sew.

Now the Skirt is going to look more Flamboyant.

Measure from Coin

I want to Spread the Coins evenly so I decided to Measure the Distance around the Skirt.

150 Centimetres

I am Measuring the Lower Trim and it is more than I expected. My Tape only goes as far as 150 Centimetres.

Add another 113

I Pin where I had got to and then continue to Measure. I have to add another 113 Centimetres. That makes 263 Centimetres in Total.

Pinning Distance

Since it is an Odd number I do not do precise Measurements. I add a little extra space so they look roughly the same.

Lower Done

I have now added Coins all away around the Lower Part.

NB. The page is doing weird things sorry if it looks wrong.

With the Coins ready I can begin to Sew

Careful of Underskirt

The first thing I need to remember is to be Careful of the Underskirt. I don’t want to Sew the Coin through both as it will limit the ability of it to flow.

Start Sewing

I Sew up through the Bottom of the Trim and out at the Top. I then Sew through the Bottom again. It is basically a Backstitch. I then reinforce with a few more Stitches at the back.

Sewn to Spot

Now I have Sewn the Coin to the Spot I can remove the Pin.

What Happened?

Okay What the hell Happened? The Coin seems to be a couple of Inches out of line of the Toggles. I can only think that somehow when I lifted the Underskirt I must have Pinned it wrong.
