eyelet results

I got half the eyelets done on my Regency stays last night. Keeping in mind koshka_the_cat's example, I was trying not to be so anal-retentive about my eyelets this time. They didn't come out as crappy as koshka_the_cat's but I tried, I really did. Perfectionisim is a hard rap to beat! :>

Not too shabby, 12 eyelets in 4 hours. What's that about 20 minutes an eyelet? That was with little breaks to rest my eyes/wrists and thaw out my numbed brain too.

LOL :)

Actually, my latest eyelets aren't so bad. I save the truly crappy ones for when I know I don't have the hand strength, like on 18c stays. You're right though--unless they show, I can't bring myself to make really nice eyelets!

I do a mean embroidered eyelet though. One of my better embroidery stitches :)

Aww, don’t burst my bubble - you give hope to us impatient perfectionists out there! Long live the WWKD crappy eyelet!! :>

I like embroidered eyelets too. Heck I like anything embroidered... I really need an embroidery project it's been a while since I've had one. I keep hesitating though, still slightly burned out from the Pearl I think. :P
