Date: 6/17/12 12:24 PM Years ago, one could buy sew on labels which said 'Made by -(the name of the sewist'), that could be exchanged for labels with one's own name. Does anyone know if they are still available , and where? I have made about 17 dresses for gifts, and would like to sew these labels on some of them. Thanks! ------ usis

Qualities vary, however, and depending on how nice you want and how much you want to spend, it's a hard decision to make. I bought some from a place that I didn't really like and then found another place that I really DID like! They are from Heirloom Labels. It took a little while to arrive, but they came out really nice! Good luck! ------ Brother Innovis 1250D Singer Curvy 8763 Brother 1034D Janome 385.19606 Brother 2340CV

They may also have them at places like Michael's or Hobby Lobby, though I have not seen them there........Cheri ------ Babylock Ellisimo Gold Babylock Evolution Babylock Elizabeth Singer Model 99

Date: 6/18/12 11:25 AM I find that the standard " made especially for you by" labels tend to make things look home- madey. I prefer either stanping or calligrphing text onto a ribbon or a piece of silk and then stitching it into the garment with a wide zig zag. doing a label that way thends to give the garment a boutique look. ------ sarah in nyc www.sewnewyork.blogspot.com

Date: 6/19/12 7:17 AM You can actually design and/or make up your own on fabric: 1) Using a label program and ready made fabric sheets such as the ones by The Electric Quilt Company that you can most likely run through your printer. 2) Using a label program and fabric transfers. Then iorning them onto ribbons or directly to your fabric garment. 3) Using a label program, print them out on a sheet of paper. Then Scan them and save as a jpg. Then upload them to Spoonflower and have them printed up there on fabric at Spoonflower Similar to the way done up by this person at that site: Fabric Labels with filling in the blanks. You might want to make them smaller than these in order to get more on a yard of fabric. You might want to use the satin stitch or zig zag around the edges of the homemade fabric labels on the fabric sheets or the ones from a yard of fabric at Spoonflower to give them a professional look. ------ A photo is worth a thousand words...
