How to make your own sew in labels!
I have had many people ask how I make my sew in labels. I had planned on doing a tut for this, but I found one! Allyson Hill has a fabulous tut to follow, so check it out here. The only difference between her method and mine is that she used the roll of fabric paper. I buy the prepackaged colorfast fabric sheets at Wal-mart. They come 6 or 7 sheets to a pack for $13. For my small labels I pay roughly 2¢ with paper and ink. You can also design these to fold over as well. Make sure you treat them with the fray check, otherwise they will fray- trust me! Lastly, if you are using these on item that will be washed a lot you may consider another route. According to the package you cannot wash them using detergent, however I have not had any issues of the color fading due to my washing them with detergent. Let me know if you have any questions!
