Finally, finally got down to making some fabric labels.
These will no doubt come in very useful for advertising
and marketing when the day eventually comes to sell the
stuff I make. But you'll laugh when I tell you the real
for the girls - they can't tell the front from the back and
are forever asking me if they've worn them right. I guess
they've been trained to recognize the backs of lower
garments by the store labels usually sewn in the seam or
tucked under the waistband, but mum's shorts.... well,
talk about taking independent dressing several steps back.
So this summer's shorts will leave no room for doubt -
they should bring the same level of developmental
security as those from Target!
But back to the labels themselves - there are several
Very easy. As a related project, I also finally made some
now also type letters to friends and pretend I wrote them!
Which I actually did..... actually..... Hmm.
Cool idea! I printed out a load of labels on tshirt transfer paper to put on the baby doll diapers I mailed out as Christmas gifts last year, but I just ironed them straight onto the diapers. I never thought to make labels. That would avoid the hassle of getting the iron out each time you make something. Also, I have to learn more about sewing patterns. The clothes you make for your kids really delight me.
ReplyDeleteWell, I never thought of actually MAKING these! I like the idea of using twill tape rather than ribbon.
ReplyDeletePart of the reason I ordered them was also so the kids could identify the backs of their pants and tops. But to no avail. P still puts his shirt on backward every single day!
L, these turned out SO fantastic!!! I love them. And love the fonts too. Your handwriting is perfectly beautiful.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea and thank you! Re: kids not being able to tell front from back on hand made clothes - I used to stitch a cross ( or draw with a marker) on the inside of the back waistband.
