Yes, it is back to rhinestoning! I'm redoing one of the shirts for Remix Gold, one of the boys that needs the rhinestone 'braces' on. The task of the next few days is to finish putting the rhinestone 'braces' on the shirt. I've found that one of the reasons that the rhinestones didn't stay on as well as they could is because there is a finish on the shirts when they arrive. After a first wash the finish comes off which helps the rhinestones find better purchase in fusing to the fabric.
So, rhinestoning away! I want to do something a little different with the braces this time, make sure that if and when a few of the rhinestones do come off in the general wear and tear during the performances its not as obvious, by staggering the placement of the rhinestones and putting more on.
