Customized Labels, Part II

I was so excited to check the mail today and find a white envelope from Spoonflower.com because I knew that my customized fabric for making my labels was in there.

As a reminder, I mentioned before that I read a cool tutorial for making your own labels off the Cold Hands Warm Crafts blog spot.  And couldn't wait to make my own.

And here they are!!

They actually came out a little bigger than I'd expected.  But, I think it is because I was so worried about making them too small.  Really, the bigger labels are perfect for putting on the back of a large project, like a tshirt quilt, however, I will probably go back and order some smaller ones for other projects.

Don't they look fabulous?

Customized Labels, Part I

So, this project is just in the beginning stages, but I'm too excited about it not to go ahead and share it.

When I've made sewing projects in the past, I've either stuck on those generic Made with love by... labels you can get from Joann's, or worse...put nothing at all.

So, now that I have the BroFo and am busting out beautiful project after beautiful project, not to mention have my own Etsy store, I decided it was time to invest in some personalized labels.

I've seen a few different options for label making, some include ribbons, some include embroidery, some include iron transfers, but my favorite is this one where the woman makes her own labels by first ordering customized fabric, and then making snazzy little labels out of it.

So inspiration struck, and I opened up Photoshop and got to work!   Then I went onto the Spoonflower website and ordered a yard of custom made material with my design on it.  Woo-hoo!

It should be here in about a week.  Then, I'll post an update.  Meanwhile, here is a little sneak peak:

Isn't it just crazy cute?
