Labels for self-made items?

[Tartan Hiker]

Wow, thanks for all the excellent suggestions. I can't believe that I never thought of just stitching it into the lining like that, W2F. I think that's the plan for me...simple and effective.
And I can already think of other projects for which the ink jet trick will be perfect. Brilliant!

My wife makes labels for her quilts also. She prints out her label, puts it on a light box, and then traces it onto the fabric with permanent markers. The markers she uses are made for fabric are acid free and archival quality. Her quilts usually get washed several times before being given to the recipient and all have been well used and the labels have all stood up well. Anyway, glad you're doing well enough thay you need to think about labeling.

YMOS,
