Mirror Work - 5 using Long tailed Lazy Daisy Stitch

 Hi all

Merry Christmas to all of you.

Hope all are doing well and good.  It's been more that a week I have posted here.   So today I am happy to share  with you another mirror work using the simple lazy daisy stitch.  

Fix the sequin using a small stab stitch on the holes on both the sides of the sequin.
  You can also fix it using glue. 

Stitch a round of chain stitch around the sequin. Try to keep the number of chains even. 

Make a round of buttonhole stitches through the chain stitches.  Tutorial is available here

Now Bring the needle through any one chain stitch.

The above photo is rotated here. 
 Make a long tailed Lazy daisy stitch through the chain where the needle comes out. 

Anchor the tail a little slanting to the right as show above.

Make the next long tailed lazy daisy stitch in the next stitch.
Anchor the tail a little left (i.e - at the point where the first stitch is anchored)

This is how it looks like. 

Do the next set of long tailed lazy daisy stitch in the next two chain stitches.

Do the long tailed lazy daisy stitches around.  

Embellished the mirror work using cut beads and small glass beads. 
You can use this as an all over design for your dresses.
