LABELS: The Finishing Touch for Sewn Garments

I've been using labels in my sewn garments for decades, but some don't.  Here are some pics of ones I have.





The quality went down so good thing I bought when I did.  In some clothes when they are ready for the trash bin, the labels still look so good that I remove them to be used on a newly sewn garment.  Some new ones don't last too many years or washings.

So, why the difference?  It's woven vs. printed.  The colors and letters wear off from the printed ones.

There are companies which sell online---and are of good quality.  The problem is sometimes they must be ordered in bulk.   I get bored easily and like to change often so like having choices of style and designs.

If you have a favorite place from which to order, put the info in the comments.

I did a search and found my style.  They are 10 for $19.  You can see the prices I paid for mine.  Granted it was many years ago.  (The prices I wrote on the packages include tax or were bought after a price increase; hence, the seemingly incorrect math.)
