After a bit of a hiatus spent on calligraphy I'm back to the corset top based on the shape of 18th century #stays and I'm at the stage when I have to set in 14 metal eyelets per side on the back, plus a still indefinite amount on the front.
I'm really happy I bought the big box of 500 grommets a few years ago :D
(I'm trying not to think about the similar amount of hand sewed eyelets I will have to make for the real thing :D )

in reply to Elena ``of Valhalla'' • •3 sides and a bit done (for a total of 44 eyelets done), only 9 remaining!
(Yes, I've made the top so that it also laces in the front.)
and the shoulder straps. I've completely forgotten about the shoulder straps and I still have to bind them, attach them, and put in 4 more eyelets (woooooops).
