Making of the Meadow Gown Part 3

Step 26: Continue sewing sequins and realize that every arbitrary deadline you set for yourself is too soon.  There are a HECK of A LOT of  sequins on this skirt!

I did  however finish all the gold thread chains on one panel - a 1/4circle panel (There are 2 this size and 2 1/2 circles) which means 1/8 of the gold chains are done.  I still need to go back and do the green chains because I decided for my sanity that finishing a panel in one color at a time was preferable, it only requires one needle and I don't  lose my spot as often, esp since I started following the chains down the skirt (or across as it gets to a section that was more on the bias with how I had to lay it out to cut) instead of going back and forth parallel with the top and bottom between chains.  Obviously my MLK day deadline was not met but progress is being made - slow as it might be.
