I have been looking for a tutorial like this! Thank you for showing an easy and tangible way to do this, and the fact that you are GORGEOUS made it that much more fun! 😊 ❤
Thank you! I’m going to use this method to replace all the broken metal grommets on a fabric belt. I actually think this will be so much more durable as the metal ones just pop out whenever the fabric stretches.
Thank You, this is amazing. It really works, which blew my mind. I used a chopstick since I didn't have an awl. I currently don't have metal eyelets, so this worked great.
I usually do that not-knotting-and-start-again, in eyelets and buttonholes and buttons. It's how my grandmother did it and it is what feels right for me.
This is such a helpful and straightforward demonstration. I was trying to punch a hole in my fabric (luckily, a practice piece) with terrible results and the awl is perfect for making the eyelet holes. Thanks for sharing your tips.
thank you so much!!! i’m using this technique for a wildly different project than you, but this is soooo helpful and i feel so much more confident this will turn out nicely. thank you!!
Hi Lucy Anne, Thanks for your comment and kind words! 💕That's great that you've already been using that time saving secret for eyelets and buttonholes! 😍
I came across your video for perhaps a strange reason. I was researching how flags were constructed during the US Civil War period. I read about whipped eyelets on the flags and wanted to see how they were made. Thank you. 🙂
Did you make the chemise under the corset? I like the style of it is there a pattern style name or video tutorial on it by chance? Appreciate the eyelet video I'm debating between doing metal or hand-sewn for a current project.
It looks like a lot of the ones I've seen elsewhere, but with a square neckline, gathering at the shoulders, and a bishop-esque sleeve shape. If you learn how to do each of these, you may be able to adapt a simple chemise pattern into the one she is wearing.
They are very durable! My maternity stays for example only contain hand-worked eyelets, and I wore those stays every day for my entire pregnancy. Zero fraying or damage. That being said, hand-worked eyelets are not suitable for anything you plan on lacing extremely tightly. ☺️
