Hi Everyone! We round out this month's topic with a closer look at using eyelets to create lace-up closure... Similar to buttonholes, eyelets may seem a bit intimidating. Cutting a hole into your almost finished garment is always a bit nerve-racking but with a few careful preparation tips, you'll be able to apply these with confidence! Watch the video below for a full tutorial on how to use and eyelet setting tool called a Crop-o-Dile to add eyelets to your garment.
Pattern Overview: For this week's topic, you can choose to sew with any pattern you already have that has a closure designed without an overlap, like an invisible zipper, button loop, or lace-up eyelet closure. This topic goes along with the latest pattern release from Liberty Jane - The Outback Libby Mindil Beach Dress!
Below you'll find a list of the Liberty Jane patterns shown in the video that highlight the specific types of closures mentioned.
Resources (where to buy - links point to amazon):
Week Four task:
- Sew a garment using a lace up eyelet closure. The new Mindil Beach Dress pattern is a great one to use this technique on.
-
If you have the LJ Blossom dress pattern or Get The Look dress pattern (both have been free several times) you can use the bodice pieces to make a simple corset that laces up the front. Here's a link to that bonus tutorial: Until Twilight Corset Tutorial
- Post questions as comments under this Facebook Group Post - please preface your question by stating the closure product used, the pattern used, and step number you're on. Post finished projects as well - we'd love to see them!
