Have you ever wished that you could design something on your computer and print it directly onto fabric AND have the ability to iron it on to something? Am I the only one? If you've ever wished that too, I found a solution. June Tailor Quick Fuse Inkjet Fabric Sheets, available at Joann Fabrics. I knew a product like this existed, I just needed to find it and try it.
When I recently sold my first clutch handbag on Etsy (yay!) I wanted to add a tag with my name/logo before I sent it out the door.
Enter 8 1/2 x 11 inch 100% cotton white fabric printable sheets with fusible iron-on backing. Just what I needed! 3 sheets for $9.99, but you know I always have a 50% off coupon.
I made a template with my name/logo in black ink and repeated it as many times as I could with a thin bounding box for trimming. I printed one sheet and it worked perfectly!
After testing a label on a scrap of fabric, I was ready to iron one to inside of a clutch. It took about 20-30 seconds to adhere, and it was on there good. So professional!
Now, each time I make a clutch, tote, bib or other fabric accessory, I can add my own personalized label, so the recipient knows who made it.
A small detail that polishes the design and really completes my handiwork.
