Stamped Tags and Labels

June 12, 2011 By Spoonful of Sugar - 28 Comments

I have a sweet set of Japanese Sewing Stamps that I bought from Cute Tape. I love the sewing motifs, and used them to make some fabric labels.
Using ink pads that are suited to fabric, I stamped some images on cotton twill tape and heat set them with the iron.
I sewed them onto scraps of fabric to make some little tags that I will used to decorate sewing projects.

While the stamps were out, I also stamped some shipping tags. Thanks to a sweet friend who gave me heaps of old sewing patterns, I have plenty of pattern tissue for gift wrapping. It works really well with some Japanese masking tape.

    I’ve just rediscovered your blog and am delighted with it all. Its just wonderful and the visual content is bliss. I’m looking forward to veiwing it more regularly now and am off to explore your relationship with Japan as I’ve noted a few comments. I love everything Japanese and have spent some time there myself. thank you for allowing me to really enjoy my morning coffee! Susie

    What a great idea. The fabric you used is so nice. And I just love masking-tape. I’m glad that I got a lot as a present. You can do so many things with it.

    Have a nice day.
