Fabric Labels

Fabric labels oh Fabric Labels.... I have been online researching these babies for months! Finally I found a good (cheap) solution, a tutorial to make my own. This idea is genius!




Laurraine from Patchwork Pottery has the whole tutorial on her blog here. She has a ton of other great stuff too, so you have to check it out. They were really simple to make and I love the way they look on the twill tape. Also, I didn't spend a fortune which is always a plus! I made 1/2" and 1" labels. I have already made a few bibs and added labels to the back, I feel so professional now hehe :)



In other exciting news, I think I am going to buy a serger soon! I think I am going to get this one... any thoughts, opinions, reviews??

Love to hear what you think!

  1. Taylor! Your labels turned out fantastic! What kind of transfer paper did you use? Hugs, Laurraine

  2. Thanks, I love them!! I used the Joanns Fabric Brand, I think I didnt leave the iron on them long enough at first then I realized it and the last batch was much better.

  5. I wish I would have seen this post sooner - I spent almost $200 on custom labels a few months ago. Of course I got hundreds of them (which I really don't need...but you had to buy in quantity). Good news is after I use them up, I'll follow your post. ;O)

  6. I used that tutorial to make some labels, too. They look great until you wash the item a few times. The labels start to wrinkle/fade, so I think they're awesome for things that won't be washed much :) Also, I got that serger for Christmas but still haven't opened it - I'm scared! haha
