That's very pretty! I'm also glad to see you using stitched eyelets. Which machine do you have? I have eyelet plates for both my Husqvarna Lily and my Bernina 1005.

And what sort of boning will you put up between the eyelets and the open edge? The space looks very narrow...

Hi Kate, thanks for commenting.
I use a Pfaff Performance 2056 with an eyelet plate.

The boning I used throughout the bodys will be (is) 7mm flat steels all around. The bones are really snug near the eyelets but they fit the channels fine.
