So I recently did my first eyelets and your tutorial is by far my fav eyelet tutorial I’ve found! Also I breathed a sigh of relief at my choices of cotton floss and securing my ends after watching yours lol Thanks for doing what you do for us!
Oh yay, I'm so glad it helped! It's my pleasure! I mean...sewing lots of eyelets by hand may not always be a huge pleasure at the moment - so also thank YOU for helping to make this entire experience more enjoyable by sharing it with me!
You just saved my life, i really needed some eyelets for an imitation corset but couldn't find any in my city, then i found your video and learned how to do the eyelets, they're so easy and pretty, thank you so much
i’ve been working on a modern style underbust corset and i don’t want to spend extra money on eyelets so i’ve been looking for alternatives for metal eyelets and, this is a really helpful video! thank you so much for making this, since it’s really hard to hand sew these without actually knowing how to do it
You are a lifesaver! Thank you! I tried to do these gold eyelets for my stay… it’s bad. But I may be able to salvage my hard work with your method. *searches for embroidery thread*
This will be perfect for a little stitchbook I'm going to do, with individual pages. Each page will have 2 or 3 eyelets on the spine so that I can insert a binding ring. Thanks!
So educational and I can’t wait to get started stitching eyelet holes on my next project! Your eyelets are so beautiful and even. Thank you so much for all of the tips!
Thank you for the great tutorial! I love that I was able to use some crochet thread to make some eyelets for a skirt I am making, they turned out great! Now I'm thinking I may need to make a kirtle!
What always helps me when the fabric I’m using needs threads to be snipped and broken is using the loop method. It catches all those pieces and it won’t allow it to rip when I tug when I lace up. Using wax also helps a ton!
Awesome! The loop method is the one I had been doing before, the one more similar to button holes (I actually didn't know it had that name until I looked just now!). That one is very nice and secure too! I have some well worn garments with eyelets still holding up great.
bless you for this. i just tried it and it cut down my time from 15 min per eyelet to about 5. for what it's worth, you don't really need to tie off the thread and you can "travel" it between layers from one eyelet to the next in line
for these kinda techniques, where you're forced to use your awl to re-enlarge the hole or something similarly repetitious, it would behoove you to use the leatherworker's technique of holding the awl pointed out between your ring finger and pinky. great tutorial!! thanks for sharing!!
Excellent "how to" video. I really needed this because I was dreading of making eyelet holes for my project and was considering going to a seamstress. But seeing how simple you made it with just a little practice. I made it. Thank you very much! Let's see what my statement up there looks like after being translated by Shakespeare. Excellent "how to" video. I very much did need this because I wast dread with making eyelet holes f'r mine own projecteth and wast consid'ring going to a seamstress. But seeing how simple thee madeth with just a dram practiceth. I madeth. Thanketh thee v'ry much! Haha, awesome!
So nice to find your channel because I’m doing some hand sewing cotton and linen garments and I wanted eyelet lace for sleeves and hem of my dress but under lockdown in italy is making it hard to acquire so I’m working up the courage to make my own thanks to you!!! Thanks so much for sharing. If you want to see it let me know! ☀️☀️☀️
Excellent video, I'm going to be lacing up an early 15th century gambeson I'm making and this helps me know exactly what I'm going to need to do going forward. Certainly seems like a slog, but that embroidery thread looks like it makes it a lot faster.
Why did I found this just now 😭😭 just when I completely scrapped the bodice I was working on 😭😭😭 but thank you for this,, at least I know what to do next time
I usually tie off by having my needle go all the way around the eyelet between the threads and the fabric. I actually do something similar with the tail; I purposfully lay it so that I sew around it while making the stitches. If that made any sence?
@@DaisyViktoria Well, I have to have my moments as well. :P No, but seriously, It's one of the things I realized would work for some sewing as I learned to crochet granny squares.
I'm so glad you found it helpful! I think the thread makes a difference on strength too, but I am having a lot more luck with this method vs the button hole stitch. I've since done this method with embroidery thread on the stays in this video, and so far it's working out really well! ruclips.net/video/aTiZIusdKUg/видео.html
Hand sewn eyelets really are the prettiest. Lovely work and a lovely shade of pink! (Also that sweater is epic.)
Thank you so much! This is totally my fave sweater, it's so fun!
Omg thanks for the tip with the thicker thread, its so simple really, but I wouldve never thought of that 🤦♀️

@@DaisyViktoria Besides the historical accuracy, won't the thread break from the constant friction?
This is the best background music I've ever heard 😅
Thank you so much for this well explained tutorial

I made a corset for a fae character, being fae I didn't want to use any visible metal so I think this will be a great alternative way to lace up
your sweater is very cute! Im excited for your cord and project reveal videos.. great work!
Thank you so much! Yay it's so fun to make the cord too and such a great personal touch!
This tutorial is a GODSEND!! How much time on average would you say it took you to sew a eyelet?
Beautiful eyelets. The dress is gorgeous and I look forward to the reveal of the final outfit.
Thank you so much!! I'm so excited about it!
Awesome! Perfectly easy and historically correct. Just what a was looking for.
You are a lifesaver! Thank you!

Accidentally came across you & SOOO GREATFUL I DID❤️‼️ Everything happens for a reason🙏🏼❤️‼️👌
This was so simple and helpful! I now have ten beautiful hand sewn eyelets. Thank you!
Yay, you are doing so great! I am glad to help!
Embroidery thread! Brilliant idea.
this was so helpful, i'm making a very small pair of sneakers for a doll i made and i've always had bad luck with the usual metal grommets.
That looks beautiful.
Thank you for posting! I am a beginner sewer and I have challenged myself to make a regency era costume and I will most likely be using this method!

Aw, I'm glad I could help now, at least! Good luck with your next project!
very good instruction. Thank you.
greetings from the crochet world😅 i want to learn this as i try to create my first fabric item
The metal eyelets of a corset I was given have worn out and even fallen out. I will use this method instead of trying to replace them
Happy I could help!
Totally off subject but I LOVE that sweater!!
gorgeous, thanks for sharing
Great video, thank you 😊
Thank you so much! I am going to use eyelets to hide a stain in a handkerchief pattern shirt that Iove!
Would i be able to do this technique on a knit fabric?
This is so helpful thank you!
Where did you get your awl?
I usually tie off by having my needle go all the way around the eyelet between the threads and the fabric. I actually do something similar with the tail; I purposfully lay it so that I sew around it while making the stitches. If that made any sence?
I think that makes sense and sounds so clever!

Excellent video, she-nasferatu!
I get the whole point of this is that it's done by hand- but how can I do it with a machine?
4:40 can I now?😎
Edit : she mentioned fabric so nevermind
Thank you! 😊
