LABELS!..........FINALLY!!!!!!!

For few months I've been wanting my own labels to sew on

EvErYtHiNg

I make

I searched

high and low

and actually found a company

on Etsy that I was ready to order through

THEN

I saw this idea

(on Pinterest I think)

where you can have CUSTOM FABRIC

Printed

....

WHAT?!

SHUT.THE.FRONT.DOOR!!!!!

so...I decided I would take this route for (FINALLY!) getting my labels

I ordered my fabric on

Spoonflower

check em out here

I actually ordered some other SUPER cute custom printed fabric that will make it's debut on here...someday ;) ...if you're lucky

I received it a few short days later

(if I remember right)

and fell IN LOVE <3

The only downside to doing it this way is I literally have to

'MAKE'

each and EvErY label

First by

cutting the fabric

then by

ironing back the raw edges

(to avoid fraying)

They I simply sew them on whatever projects I'd like

(so it's actually not that time consuming to make them)

BRILLIANT!!!!

These babies are going on EVERYTHING I make from now on!!

fresh cut label with unfinished raw edges

edges ironed back

completed label sewn onto inside of Shane's school bag :)

Bowlero Jacket

Alright so we had FAMILY pictures coming up

(I LOVE new family pictures!!!) and I wanted a

Cute/Elegant Jacket

to go with my

PRETTY Black Lace Dress

(special thanks to Victoria's Secret! LOVE my DRESS!)

I didn't actually do much looking for a jacket because I decided I was up for a good challenge

Found this

pattern

and the

pretty red Satin fabric

at JoAnn's :)

Spent a Saturday at my aunt's

and with the help of a few lovely ladies

I was able to get this jacket put together in a few short hours...

This jacket wasn't actually all that hard to make

(though I'd like to refer to my previous feelings about patterns....WHO THE HECK WRITES THESE THINGS?!?!)

I think it turned out pretty good but...

...

see for yourself :)
