I inserted a washer between the two heavy foundation fabrics of the bodice after I made the initial hole with the black handled awl. Then I made the first pass on the inside ring of the washer and made 3 temporary stitches around the outside to keep the washer from slipping around until I completed the second pass. I have all the bodice eyelets started with the first pass. There are only 4 of 24 to finish with the second pass. Then the bodice eyelets will be done. I did them with the only embroidery floss color I had enough of, which was a light blue that doesn’t go with the green of the under skirt and trim. I bought some dark navy floss to match the bodice exactly with the intent of going over the light blue. But this was such a BIG undertaking that I want to show off the eyelets first. Why am I not sewing right now, since I’m so close to being done? Because I’m A.D.D. and I’m so close to being done with something. My mind is racing about the next project. I couldn’t stand it anymore and came in here to take a break.
