I marked and started the eyelets yesterday. I only had about 30 minutes to spend on it but I got three done.
Thanks for the comments/suggestions about the eyelets! I did decide to go with a spiral lacing, spaced about 1&1/4" apart. I know I could have made them closer but I am trying not to go too crazy. I also made a scant boning channel for a 1/4" steel bone at the edge, and I'm sewing the eyelets as close to the channel as I can.
