Because it is so popular, we have made two more cute versions for children. For this, we decorated each of the colorful little bags with an embroidered label! Take a look:
Embroidery is really in fashion, although: hand-embroidered, it is still a touch more personal than with an embroidery file, we think. And it also has a great vintage character.
This is how you make the label:
- Iron a piece of thin fusible interfacing onto a small piece of linen (approx. 7 *10 cm, depending on the length of the name and font size)
- Write the corresponding name on the linen with a fabric marker.
- Now cut two or three strands of standard embroidery twist and sew the name in a simple back stitch (what is that called in German?).
- Take a second piece of linen that is just as big as the first, place the pieces together right sides together and sew all around.
- Carefully cut the back in the middle with embroidery scissors or a seam ripper about 3 cm and turn the label
- Shape the corners nicely and iron the label
- If you like, you can trim the seam allowance at the corners a little before turning it inside out, we usually skip it because it makes the corners a little rounded.
- Place the label where you want it, and sew the label in place with a running stitch. Done!
You can see here how the back stitch works:
The running stitch is made like this:
And this is what the result can look like (if you can only sew moderately well, but always like to try again):
Paul's wash bag label is attached with the quilt stitch of the sewing machine.
One more thematically matching zipper bead - and: Yippie! Done!
Mistaken identity ruled out! ;o)
