Made this for my partners birthday. First go at making sequin patches and I’m hooked. So shiney.
Just finished hand embroidering this sequin crying eye patch. Link here.

Important lessons learned so far about making sequined/beaded patches:
Save the purl/billion/couched goldwork outline for the end so it shows up better
Smaller seed beads are MUCH better for filling in the little gaps. Like, don’t bother buying anything larger than 11/0, and 15/0 or 14/0 is best.
It’s well worth the time to coat the back in Fray Check and let it dry overnight before cutting it out. It keeps any threads you accidentally snip while cutting out the patch firm enough to not instantly unravel.
Theories I have yet to test:
Using a firmer felt is better.
This is my second attempt at a cloud. This time, it helped tremendously to follow the line I drew.
Here it's almost finished, only needing the line of purple. I found that I can truly achieve a dragon scale look when layering them tightly together. Anchoring the final sequins onto the piece (or when needed) works by sewing through the center from multiple points around the sequin.
