So as a few may remember, I have an old MermaidFX tail, from years ago, my practice tail! I decided I wanted to sequin it, so it could be used as a back-up tail, but I can't sew to save my life. So I hired Illonka Papp to do it for me! I bought all the sequins and had them shipped to her, I shipped her the tail but left the monofin at home (it's very easy to take in and out since the fluke isn't glued down in anyway yet- and since it's so well fitted we probably wont glue it down) I picked out colours but told her to do her own design! She's totally sewing it all by hand right now, and making amazing progress. With her permission I am sharing these photos from her instagram account for the progress.
she's doing a koi style and the entire tail will be sequinned. She's a champ. No way to glue it, as no glue bonds to the stretch vinyl. Too shiny!
