Actually, I was thinking to buy custom order label. However, I found the price is too pricey for me. Also, the idea of attaching something machine made on handmade item is a bit ironic.
Then I sew it on the hem:
It only took me less than 30 minutes. I think to spare 30 minutes to do this on handmade clothes that need more than 1 month to make is worth it, don’t you think?
Very neat Lily! I'd try that too sometime, it'll probably take me more than 30 mins ;)
ReplyDeleteI love the label! I don't embroider, though, (at least not well) so it would probably take me a lot longer. I need to get labels for the things I sell, but I'm put off by the price, too. I love the look of handmade so much more, though.
ReplyDeleteLove the handmade label Lily! I too am not fond of machine made tags on handmadeitems. As you said, something that takes time, love and effort deserves a tag of equal value. Way to go!
ReplyDeleteYour label looks adorable. I think it really adds something to a finished piece to have a handmade label.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is great to handmake own label. I also have search the retailing of making the label, it is very expensive.
ReplyDeleteThat is terrific!
ReplyDeleteHi hon,
ReplyDeleteI just thought of something else you could do to make hand made labels. Prepare a stencil of the name you want on the label. Use the ribbon and fabric paint to stencil the name on the ribbon. I guess this would take maybe 10 - 15 minutes and the stencil can be reusable. I owe this one to you. I make a lot of crochet items myself and I looked at the labeling option too which I found expensive. After reading this post, this idea popped into my mind.

I can't believe your work~! And you've solved my label problem. I had been thinking along your lines but didn't know if it would work...so now, I know it will! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi Lily,
ReplyDeleteI am using felt as my label and do some embridery on it. Your idea is great too.
I love this! I agree on the 30 minutes for a handmade label for a project that takes more than a month to complete! You've inspired me! Now I just have to dig deep to find the embroidery talent I have from earning my sewing girl scout patch, ah, er... quite a few years ago.

ReplyDeleteI have been search for custom label for my handmade shop then I found you, I looked at your etsy shop oh you are a genius,I love your pattern very much. It is brilliant label you made.
