Luggage Tags

 The world traveler needed some new luggage tags to match her new luggage.

I cut out some scrap paper to size and grabbed the bag of turquoise scraps. I turned on the AC and sat down at the Featherweight. It was fun to make each one different.

 Using the tutorials by Skip to My Lou, these four tags were done in no time (especially if you don't count the ripping off of a piece of vinyl that I stitched to the wrong side).

You can't tell, but there is a piece of clear vinyl on the striped side of each tag. I'll print out business cards with her info to slip in.

 

She's almost ready to go. Am I ready?

Counting Down to Savannah!

Julia was in a show this weekend called All Shook Up. It's the story of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night set to Elvis music in the 50's. So FUN! Isn't she the cutest bobby sockser? We all agree she was born in the wrong decade. She should have been a teenager in the late 40's or 50's.


I will be in Savannah, Georgia, one week from today with my Girl Scouts and I can't wait!


I picked up some Kaffe fabric at the Button Box last week with my girls in mind. This fabric coordinates beautifully with our pink and lime green trip t-shirts, so I thought I would make them all a headband or something. Today, that something was luggage tags. I pre-printed their contact info on cardstock with one of our troop logos (554).


There are a bunch of tutorials out there for fabric luggage tags. I cut 2 pieces of fabric, 4x6", and 2 pieces of fusible interfacing, 4x6". The strap is a 12" long piece of grossgrain ribbon. The vinyl is cut 2.5 x 4" and topstitched on. Easy peasy!


Since I have a few extra luggage tags and my 100th post is coming up, stay tuned for a giveaway to be announced on Sunday. Some goodies from Savannah may be included!
