Sewing Tag

Hope you all had a good Christmas. Today I am sharing with you a tag using Mixed up Magazine printables Sewing Ephemera which can be found here.

Firstly I printed out the images onto a piece of white card and cut out the ones I wanted, after which I coated them in decoart crackle glaze to give them a vintage look. Whilst these were drying I cut out a tag fron greyboard. I covered the tag in a clothes pattern I got from the local charity shop. 




I coloured the tag with a mix of antique linen and vintage photo distress ink as well as colouring a white zip using various blue inks. I stamped onto the tag using vintage photo and finnabair crackle stamp and then attached the zip and printables along with a maroon lace applique

I attached buttons, sewing machine metal charm and made an embellishment by gluing small safety pins to a button to finish off the tag.

Thanks for stopping by.
