Okay, so I promised you that I would write up this tutorial on how to make your own sew -in fabric labels.
It is super duper easy!
What you need:
The first thing you are going to do is buy some iron on ink jet (or laser) printable sheets. I get mine from the fabric section of Wal-mart and they are a brand called Tailor.
Then you are going to buy some twill fabric tape. They sell this by the yard at Wal-mart as well. It is about and inch wide and very cheap.
Other than your printer and an iron you have everything you need.
Step 1. go to www.avery.com and choose print and design online. Then choose create by product and enter 48860. This will give you the template for a 1"x2 5/8" address label.
Now all you have to do is create your label design in the first square. You can import any logo or picture you like and use any font or colors you like so be creative.
Step 2. Print your iron on sheets. The tailor brand sheets often tell you NOT to reverse your image for printing so make sure you just print normal if the directions state this. Some other brands of iron on transfers require you to reverse the image. Just read the instructions on the package to figure out which you should do. If you do need to reverse the image then you can do this in the options settings of your printer. Make sure to follow the instructions to make your labels colorfast. With the Tailor brand you have to rinse them in cool water and iron dry with a hot iron.
Step 3. Cut your iron labels into strips.
Step 4. Turn you iron on to high/cotton with NO steam and press your strips right onto the twill tape. I allow mine to cool and then peel them but read the instructions on your transfer sheets to find out what they recommend.
Step 5. Now you can cut and sew on each label.
I was and dry mine constantly in the dryer since I use them on my diapers and they still look awesome! I think these look super professional and they are super cheap!
Please message me to let me know how these work out for you and let me know if you need help!
Enjoy!
