Grommets Polyester

Can I grommet a thin fabric, such as a t-shirt?

The t-shirt in question is 50% cotton, 50% polyester, and of course, is not very thick. Is it possible for me to grommet it with 1/4 inch metal eyelets (using a hammer)? What could I do to make sure that the grommets didn’t come apart in the wash? Is there any other way I could grommet the shirt?

There’s a fair chance the fabric won’t hold grommets, unless you put some more fabric behind it to support it… assuming you’re doing something like a row of grommets, consider sewing a strip of grosgrain ribbon to the skin side of the t-shirt, and then inserting the grommets.

Or embroider eyelets, and forget about the grommets.
