About Me

My photo
I am a wife to a very supportive hard working husband who puts up with my fabric addiction and a mother of one energetic and silly little boy who constantly asks "Momma, what are you making?" and who absolutely DREADS going to JoAnn's (luckily Momma lets him play games on her phone). My boys are however very sweet to compliment my work and take an interest in it. I have an absolute obsession with SEWING and creating things! I often wonder if I'll ever have enough time to complete ALL of the projects that are stirring around in my head??...Doubtful, but...Here are a few of my latest creations...enjoy!

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 :)
