I build costumes for amateur theatre and dance. This involves an ungodly amount of sequins sometimes. The way I deal with this is when they need to be attached individually is, firstly, using coat thread or coban to attach them, which is stronger and thicker then normal thread, or secondly, putting a little dab of fabric glue behind each one.
I wouldn't suggest you re-sew all the sequins by hand (I feel a little neurotic just typing that out) but go to a craft store and pick up some fabric glue, Alleen's Flexible Fabric Glue it my favorite, and use a toothpick to apply it to the back of each sequins. Put a movie on while you do this, it will take a while.
Also, while you are at the craft store look for some sequins that match your bag. They'll only cost you a few bucks and you'll be able to replace anything that falls off that much easier. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]
