The littles get through an alarming amount of clothing - These embroideries were on pyjamas that they've grown out of, but really were not suitable to hand on to anyone...
So I cut off the embroidery, fused it to a backing fabric, using heavyweight (Ultra) Heat and Bond, I then put some heat and Bond vinyl (the matt one) on both sides. They were then trimmed and satin-stitched around - not too tight, but solid edges were created. Then my Crop-a-Dile finally got used for eyelets (I got it for punching holes in CD's - I had a plan..... once)
Hey presto - tags..... not sure where they'll get used, but they will.
