Sequins - for going out or staying in!

This post originally appeared on the Cali & Co. Blog for the Fabric Obsessed . There are a few types of fabric that I am obsessed with since I’ve been sewing, but never would have bought off the rack. Faux fur is one, and sequins are the other! (You can take the girl out of New Jersey but….) Maybe some of you have a similar relationship with certain fabrics? I had wanted to make a sequined jacket for the holidays, but those came and went and it didn’t happen, but it stayed on my to-sew list. So even though it isn’t entirely seasonal, my new blog project is a sequined blazer! Some of my inspiration: Tom Haverford, Park and Rec, "Treat yo self" Chris Jericho, WWE wrestler Cali Fabrics has a great selection of sequin fabrics, including the amazing reversible sequins they've added to the site recently. For this project I chose to work with their matte silver ‘micro sequins’ . I’ve sewn with micro sequins before and they are pretty easy to work with
