The sequin double disaster top

We all make mistakes. I managed to screw this project up not once, but twice, but to be honest it was doomed from the start. Sequinned crinkle jersey. It was never going to end well.
I am just fatally attracted to the occasional bit of sparkle. (There's some lurex in my stash which is going to be surfacing soon). This fabric was cheap and it looks it. It was a nightmare for the poor Phantom Foot Pedal machine. What needle to choose: ballpoint for the jersey or sharp for the sequins? After breaking my entire supply of ballpoints I finally twigged that sharps might be better, but still it was a horrible crunchy then soft sewing experience.
My first idea was to fashion an expensive-looking, drapey neck top. I found a Burda pattern and got stuck in. Very quick to sew given the horribleness of the material.

No photos exist of this first attempt. It looked like I was being eaten by a saggy sequinned snake.

Plan B then. A simple t. I managed to pick up a copy of Sew U Home Stretch in The Works for a couple of quid and attempted the basic crew neck t. No ribbing, no serger, just a wonky zig zag stitch and a lot of cussing.

I am so disgusted with the finished product that I can't even wear it for a photograph. The material is truly hideous. The finish is pathetic. The seams! Puckered to buggery. And just look at that neckline!

Totally unwearable. I'm afraid its for the bin. And the sequins mean it won't even make a good duster. Sigh.
