An eyelet for an eyelet

Finally reached the point where I could stand to touch the Maciejowski gown again, and I've restocked my supply of gold buttonhole silk, so the last of the hem embroidery and finishing micro-stitches are under way.  I had gotten about halfway around the skirt when the first spool of silk ran out.

While I was making a supply run, I also picked up some 1" wide twill tape to make reusable lacing strips, which I hear are very helpful when trying a new pattern for a fitted garment.  As I have several on my "To Do, Sooner Rather Than Later" list, I figured it would be worthwhile to get cracking on the strips.
