A READER REQUEST...

Amy asked for a photograph of the label I use in my wearable art items. I am using a very old and worn (and soft) t-shirt, dyed a light brown. I stamp it with my favorite stamp using a permanent black ink. Beneath it I sew my own custom label. ( in this photograph it is just lying underneath the image) I stitch it into the neckline of the garment in a casual or rough way, leaving raw edges all around. As an additional note, I always remove all manufacturers tags, including care instructions as well as size information. I add my own care label, depending on how I have altered the garment. We all know sizes are unreliable and I want my customers to try things on, without a previous knowledge that it might not fit due to the size label. Also, if you do much altering of the garment the size would not really be accurate anyway! So there ya go! Go make your very own special label!
