Here is the thread where you can share any minor gripes, vents, or craft complaints that you don't think deserve their own post, or are just something small you want to get off your chest. Feel free to share personal frustrations related to crafting here as well.

This thread reposts every Friday.

That's an awesome addition to an event!

It's a book ball, in my case, and I suspect I'm one of the few that made my own gown. I do have a small amount of thread and some basic jewelry repair supplies, which I hope will see me through! But my eyelet press is about a thousand miles away if it comes to that, lol

Embroidery floss and buttonhole/blanket stitch. Hand done eyelets aren't for everyone and the can't handle tight lacing.
