Sewing



Hi Everyone! Jane here in a very wet Berkshire, although we are in the middle of a drought! 
The Purple tags were great, very varied and so colourful.
This week I have been very busy (again), so it is a quickly made tag.

I used this lovely button fabric from my stash for the background. It was a pleasure to use it!
The image of the sewing machine is from Graphics Fairy , and I printed it onto cotton print on fabric from craftycomuterpaper. Then I hand-stitched round the outline of the sewing machine. Buttons were added as further embellishment . To finish off I used some fabric tape from my sewing box-no idea what it is for, fastened together with a press stud. The whole tag was backed onto felt, which gives a solid background, but is so easy to sew!
