Dot's Finale

I've been making a few pieces for Dot (see here!) for a few different events, and here is the grande finale!  This was probably the most difficult fabric I've ever worked with.  It's completely beaded and sequined, and you can't sew over the beads.  I had to physically crack all the beads in the seam allowances with pliers so that the stitching wouldn't all come loose - picked up this little skill at my first internship!   Dot is going to look so sparkly and amazing in this.
