How to print on fabric at home – 4 different ways<\/a><\/p>\n

Printing on fabric – washing and fading<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Collage\"

So now we have the necessary knowledge and equipment on hand, we really ought to put that into practice. \u00a0I have an upcoming project for you I think you'll like, but before we get to that one, let's start with some labels you can print yourself.<\/p>\n

Print your own sewing labels<\/h2>\n

If you sew for gifts, or sew for sale, then it's really nice to include a label in your completed project to show that it was handmade. \u00a0We put a lot of care, hard work and love into the things we sew and should be proud of what we make.<\/p>\n

So I've made up a page of ‘Handmade for you' labels that you can print at home on fabric and sew into your projects. \u00a0Fun right!<\/p>\n

The page has 12 labels, 2 each of 6 different sewing designs. \u00a0For best results, print them using the pre-treated fabric sheets such as these by June Tailor. \u00a0They are quite expensive, but my testing shows they are worth investing in for ease of use, nice crisp and bright printing and a washable result. \u00a0You can buy as few as 3 sheets in a pack, although they are cheaper per sheet in the bigger packs.<\/p>\n

\"How

How to use your labels<\/h2>\n

Print your labels onto the colorfast fabric pre-treated sheets. \u00a0Leave the ink to dry for 10 minutes then ‘set' the ink by ironing for 2 minutes. \u00a0Now your labels are ready to use.<\/p>\n

Cut your chosen label from the sheet, and remove the backing paper.<\/p>\n

\"Use

Now you can either trim the sides to whatever size you want and sew in the label with a small zig-zag\u00a0stitch around the edges, or you can fold under the raw edges to the back and press neatly before sewing in at the edges with a straight stitch.<\/p>\n

Make a neater job than I did here! \u00a0I was only sewing this on to test its ‘wash-ability' so didn't take too much care with my stitching. \u00a0Take time to fold under the unprinted edges evenly and sew close to the fold for a neat finish.<\/p>\n

I think these look very nice and add that little finishing touch to what you made. \u00a0My bags will be getting these on the pockets going forward. \u00a0Like my ‘designer' label \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Something a bit different this time. \u00a0I'm offering these labels on a ‘pay what they are worth to you' basis. \u00a0I don't want anyone to miss out, so if funds for sewing are tight, and you could earn a little money from selling what you sew and using these labels in your products, you can download them for free, with my compliments.<\/p>\n

If these are of value to you and you can contribute a couple of dollars towards the cost of getting these designed for us, that's lovely too. \u00a0Pay what you can afford. \u00a0Just enter a price and check out. \u00a0I'll be very grateful.<\/p>\n

Now print, sew and enjoy!<\/p>\n
