i Sew: DYI Label Tutorial

As I mentioned before about sewing, i admit that i am so addicted on sewing!

I was browsing all over about sewing stuffs.. the tutorials, materials, fabrics, tips, patterns, ideas and more, more about sewing.. and now my bookmarks is flooded with those links!

been sewing for about 3 months now.. sewn many stuff for practice until almost pengsan.. lol.. should post some of it in future, yet many was uploaded in my FB..

I wont talk about my sewing-ism more today..

i would like to share this DIY label.. might very useful to sewer and crafter (as I DO)... and this will be my 1st tutorial to share (khekhekhe).. since I learn about sewing almost 90% from d internet (THANK-YOU-TO-GOOGLE and to those who kind enough to share their knowledge and skills), so I hope this tutorial helps others too.. Share is caring !^_^

What you need is:
1. T-Shirt Transfer Paper – many stationeries don’t have this paper, but you will find this paper at Craft store. I bought mine from craft shop near BATA in Karamunsing Complex cost MYR10/pcs.
2. Scissor
3. Iron
4. 2cm roll of any fabric ribbon (Cotton/twill/satin) – I use Twill for this tutorial cost MYR2.30/roll
5. Printer

STEPS:
1. Design your label or if  you already have your own watermark that would be an advantage. I designed mine with Photoshop.

2. After you have ur label design, open it with Microsoft Publisher for printing. Choose LABELS option or u can set ur own size. This tutorial i set with 3cm Width, 2cm Height (u’ll get 177 labels!!) and set as Multiples. Please make sure that u set ur paper setting to T-SHIRT TRANSFER PAPER before proceed ur printing, coz it will help you to print ur label Horizontally (see picture above)..

 
3. Print it on the plain said of the transfer paper


4. cut the printed label


5. Press it on 2cm Twill


6. it will be look like this


7. and, ta-da!! your labels are done! and ready to sew on ur craft.. ^_^

 
8. Not sure of the quality after few washes. as seen on the picture, this is the label’s look like after i wash once and squeezed it for few times.. its still look great! ^_^
