Hemline Eyelets 8.7MM Starter Kits

Read Time: 1m

You can find a variety of eyelet sizes and tools on the market if you search Google; however, I chose Hemline because it is a brand I trust, and the quantity for a starter kit is "just right."

Hemline offer starter kits in a variety of sizes but based on the type of items my customers sew I thought the 8.7MM might be most versatile for kids wear, adult wear and general decor.

The eyelets 8.7MM starter kits comes with:

Eyelets (24)

Washers (24)

Application Tool

and it's all packed in a handy case so that you can keep all your bits and pieces together. You will need a hammer to apply the eyelets, FYI.

I decided on a pair of shorts out of cotton elastane jersey as my first tester item. I applied 2 eyelets to the fabric waist band so I could add a faux drawstring for aesthetic purposes.

I love how it's turned out! I made the "drawstring" out of offcuts of the same fabric by plaiting it.

What do you think?
