DIY SEW-ON LABELS

Make your handmade items look professional with a homemade label! You can easily make your own sew-on labels using iron on transfers!  It is very simple and actually looks really nice when done!  They can be sewn on anything you knit, sew or crochet!

Many thanks to the information provided by JJCrochet's DIY Sew-in Labels Tutorial.

Here's what I did...

Purchased these Avery Labels. Click on picture for more information at Amazon (affiliate link)

I purchased this 100 yards of medium weight 1/2" Cotton Twill Tape. Click on the picture to check it out at Amazon (affiliate link)

I imported my logo to print as a full sheet of return address labels. When I printed, I chose mirror image so that it would print BACKWARDS. Note that this picture is zoomed in. I had to make sure the size of each LOGO was less than 1/2" high.

I gathered my supplies and set up a work station. I just used a towel with a pillow case on my kitchen table.

I simply cut out each individual iron on transfers very closely to and directly around the actual design. I cut the pieces of cotton twill tape about 1 inch longer than the actual transfer so I would have about 1/2" extra on each side for sewing. It can be made longer if needed.

With the iron on high, I ironed the transfers on according to the directions they came with. After it cooled, if the paper did not easily peal off, I stopped and ironed it again.

It worked! I just folded in the ends slightly and sewed them on :-)
