Looks like I need to learn how – I have two in a swim/gym class once a week and my oldest is thinking of becoming a lifeguard. I’ve always sent the swimming gear in a separate bag so that they can just take that to the pool area, but it needs to be waterproof for the wet gear coming back home.In brief: create a hole in the fabric where you want the eyelet, then put the piece with the tall centre through the hole from underneath. Note: I use a 90 needle in my sewing machine when I sew laminated cotton, just to compensate for the thicker fabric. You might remember that I used laminated cotton a while back to make a bag for Little Miss’ sleeping bag and shared the tutorial over at Sew Mama Sew. She dabbles in lots of different crafts – patchwork, quilting, cross-stitch, scrapbooking, knitting, crochet and sewing.
