Labels
May 6, 2008Here’s what I need to try as soon as I get my hands on some ribbons, embroidery thread, adhesive stabilizer and my sewing machine…that is after I finish washing a s%$ load of clothes and the dishes…not to mention cooking some lunch for tomorrow and sewing the buttonholes, buttons on my last JJ shirt!
Have a look at this super dooper cool tutorial on making embroidery labels:

While I’m at it, I might also get some transfer paper and try to see how that works…

or maybe even create a cardboard cutout and use fabric spray paint…
How are you making your labels?

Hello, I was looking for tutorials on making labels too, but finally this is so time consumming and the result not always satisfactory unless you’re well equipped! Just discovered your blog (scrolling Geri’s blog list), you have made some awsome gaments, but most of all I am impressed by the quality of your photos. Whats camera are you using? Any special light?
