I am not starting to sell my purses and I wanted to make a label for the inside.

Any tips or websites would be great
Our LQS's have then by the yard, believe it or not.

However, if you have an ink jet printer with your computer you can make your own. Just prewash your material [detergent only -no softener or other] and once it is dry [again, no fabric softener] iron it, then iron it wrong side to the shiny side of freezer paper cut to fit the printer. I do an extra trim and ironing on the leading edge of this so it stays just right in the printer.

Using your printer you can cut and paste designs or even pictures - or a scanneddesign from the printer - and change the font to suit you. You can use whatever colors you want.

DON'T use Best Press on the label either ... it will make the ink run.
