Instructions

I wanted my sew in labels to match my blog header and my business cards. So after some playing around I came up with these. I designed them first in Word, printed them on iron on transfer for fabric and ironed them onto Twill tape that is 1 1/2". I iron it on to the bottom edge so that leaves the top for the seam allowance to be sewn in the corner of all my purses/handbags. I complete each edge ...

What a great idea, and so individual!

I love this! Now I can prove that "I" made my item and not bought it some place. So many times people say that there is no way that I made my item because it is too nice or complicated. Now it can have my name in it as proof and pride. Thanks for the great idea.

How does the iron on transfer hold up in the wash? I also found that because of the texture of the twill tape, the iron-on transfer got a little disformed... Have I missed something? Great idea all the same, I'm going to try it again with a smoother tape to see if that comes out a little better. Any ideas?

beautiful labels, but, what version of word were you using, i'm using 04 and can't find the mirror or flip horizontal command to print a mirrored image which I think is needed?

I dont print in mirror as I just use iron on that doesn't require it. However it can be found in your printer settings under your printer properties.

I have been looking for something to look more professional and unique like this for my hand made gifts. Thank you so much for the idea!

these look professional. i have tried printing directly on fabric and I did not like the result. I think this way looks neater. thanks

Love this, thank you. I was trying to figure out how to make my own labels. I could not afford to have them made up for me. It is so simple, yet fill the bill perfectly.

Great idea! I've been wanting some "handmade by Grandma" labels. Now I can make my own.
