The Best Way To Sew EYELETS BY HAND | Lacing Holes For Historical and Fantasy Costumes

Eyelets or lacing holes can be such a beautiful detail - and they're so functional too! In this video, I will teach you my favorite way to sew eyelets by hand. I love using hand sewn eyelet holes on my historical clothing - and even fantasy projects! - to give it an authentic and personalized look. And I think it's something any of us can learn to do! I'm currently working on a new medieval dress project, so check back to see how it goes! I'm "berry" excited about it! ;)

Hand sewn eyelets really are the prettiest. Lovely work and a lovely shade of pink! (Also that sweater is epic.)

Omg thanks for the tip with the thicker thread, its so simple really, but I wouldve never thought of that 🤦‍♀️

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!

This is the best background music I've ever heard 😅

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

This tutorial is a GODSEND!! How much time on average would you say it took you to sew a eyelet?

[licoriceveins]

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

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!

Beautiful eyelets. The dress is gorgeous and I look forward to the reveal of the final outfit.

[karenmcclure]

Awesome! Perfectly easy and historically correct. Just what a was looking for.

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!!

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*

[RhymingMime]

your sweater is very cute! Im excited for your cord and project reveal videos.. great work!

[chrisraymond]

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!

[spiritussancto]

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

Accidentally came across you & SOOO GREATFUL I DID❤️‼️ Everything happens for a reason🙏🏼❤️‼️👌

[sweetdestiny]

This was so simple and helpful! I now have ten beautiful hand sewn eyelets. Thank you!

[jsproles]

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!

[McNerdyCostumesandProps]

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!
