Draw a circle of the required size. Make a knot at the thread end, insert the needle a short distance away from the circle, and bring it out at the edge of the circle.
Sew running stitch along the circle.
One circuit is completed.
Stitch between the stitches of the first circuit to create double running stitch.
When the two circuits are complete, the thread returns to the starting point.
Bring the needle out a little way outside of the running stitch. This distance represents the width of the eyelet stitching.
Draw lines inside the circle to divide it into six segments. One of the lines should end near where the thread comes out.
Next, you’ll use sharp, fine-pointed scissors to cut along the lines. To start, insert the scissors at the center and cut along the line where the thread comes out. Be careful not to cut the thread! Use the same process to cut the adjacent line.
Fold the flap to the wrong side. Insert the needle in the center.
Bring the needle out right next to the previous stitch. Continue overcast stitching around the circle, positioning the stitches as close together as possible and making them equal in length.
Cut the next segment, fold the flap to the wrong side, and sew in the same manner.
One round is complete.
On the wrong side of the fabric, run the needle under the back of the stitches for about 1/2 in (1.2 cm) to finish the thread.
Trim the excess thread.
Cut the knot made in step 1 to complete the eyelet
