emmabphoto Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 My Mum has got a faux leather jacket and the belt that's come with it is too tight for her liking. Problem is finding eyelets that match the existing ones to extend it. Tried Hobbycraft and all sorts of places on the high street and had no joy as the eyelets needed have very little depth compared to the ones you can buy. Eyelets on the web are too big too. The only idea I have its to file down the eyelets we've got to a depth of around 3mm but we haven't got any suitable tools. Can anybody advise us or even help? Please don't say "try Timpsons or a cobblers" as we have to no avail. By the way, width needs to be 7mm. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butlers Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 There seems to be a kit on ebay,and the tool looks like the eyelets can be compressed to a couple of mm. Stitch_beads is the sellers name, theres a phone contact too,might be worth a call.Eyelets are in different finishes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
