In Joni Stevenson’s wonderful blog, she recently had a post about eyelets. They are one of my favorite stitches. Partly it’s because they are so fun to make, partly because they are so adaptable.
But my eyelets don’t always look as good as they should. Sometimes, they are crowded into the center hole. Sometimes they look messy because I don’t start in the same place with every eyelet.
Joni shows you how to deal with both these problems.
I often avoid doing eyelets, even though I like them because mine look messy. I’m going to follow Joni’s advice on an upcoming project.
Do you have a piece calling for eyelets that you can do?
