Clothing labels

When I was messing around on Pinterest, I found this tutorial for making your own labels to go inside your handmade clothes.  And I would really like to give it a go!

My only problem is, I'm not very good at making decisions, so I'm turning to my readers for some input - which one of the following do you prefer?  They would be printed onto iron on t-shirt transfer paper, and attached to grosgrain ribbon, probably white or cream.











I think at this stage, I prefer the first loveheart, although the bird and the moustache are also serious contenders!  Unless I make up 3 sets...

I'll end this self-indulgent post with some news - I have finished my strawberry dress, and I'll be showcasing it on my blog during Debi's second Sew Grateful week, the 6th to 12th of February.  All that I need to do now is wait for a non-rainy day (at this time of the year, a Nice Day is a bit too much to ask for - even if there is no rain, there'll still be very high humidity) so that my sister can help me take some photos!

    ooohhh! Very exciting that you finished the dress! I can't wait to see it! My favourite labels are the first one and the last one :)

    Love these! I like the classic bird, but the heart is cool too. I'm bad at making decisions as well...

    Thanks for your input! I think I've swayed a bit more toward the bird this morning... now I'll just have to have a play and see how it turns out!

    What lovely designs! it is fun having your own label, really gives one a buzz to see it in there. I think if you can't decide, then make a few different ones!

      Thank you! I think I might make a few after all - the tutorial said to arrange them in a grid, so I might do one column of each

    I'm totally biased, but I love them all :)

    I really like the swallow, Megan. Great idea, having a label. Are there other choices for script, rather than "made by ...". Gen

      I played with a couple of other wordings, but I couldn't find one that I really liked, and the whole "handmade with love by..." seemed a little cheesy to me... but I'm open to input, if you have any suggestions?
