I stumbled upon a FANTASTIC blog today.  Why fantastic?  Well, I just spent $18 plus shipping for 100 fantastic itty bitty fabric labels for me to sew into my FrayBaby items.  I shopped around and holy cow, labels can be expensive!!  And if they aren’t expensive, the quality can be questionable. I’ve heard of online fabric shops where you can design and print your own fabrics and as cool as that sounded to me, the price tag was NOT, $18 a yard! Well JayBirdQuilts.com clued me in on using that $18 a yard fabric to your advantage. LABELS! She made labels for her gorgeous heirloom quality quilts so they are larger, she was excited to get 90 4 inch by 4 inch labels.  My labels are all of 1.5 inches by .5 inch and 2 inches by 1 inch.  I didn’t do the math but that is a TON.  AND, you don’t have to get all 1 type of label, I could design my fabric with 1/2 yard larger labels and 1/2 yard smaller labels.  I still think designing my own fabric would be completely awesome but in the meantime, I’ll design my own labels and get them printed at Spoonflower.com, hmmm, that is, when I have the time!  :)
