Up to my eyes in eyelets

[mala_14]

I made 12 eyelets today. I don't think I've ever made so many in one go. Still 18 left to do, but I'm saving the top- and bottom-most ones until after I've finished the edges with bias. On the plus side, I discovered that I don't have to do the ones I marked at the very bottom because they're too low for the bottom edge that I want. :)

Whoa, that's a lot! nice work! I tried to do hand eyelets...once. It was a disaster. I have high respect for anyone who does it!

Eyelets by hand are a pain. I am seriously considering switching to grommets on all future pairs of stays. After all, who's going to see if it's under my clothes?

Yay for eyelets! They do seem to get faster the more you do them. Especially if you are whipping them instead of buttonhole stitching.

I don't like to make them, but they do look nice. I pretty much always whip them. Hopefully I'll speed through the next dozen!
