Luggage Tags

Well, this is the last of the crafts I'm making for the craft sale.   It's luggage tags using the tutorial that Linda H. and I did many years ago for Quilt Canada Nfld 2008 .  I've made dozens and dozens.   Have you made any? 

Girly Luggage Tags

A dozen tags for the craft sale

I have seen a lot of luggage tag tutorials online.  I still think that the one that Linda and I developed is the best.   I now do a couple of things differently.   I like making the tags in a "tag" shape.   To do this, I cut a tag shape cardboard template.  After layering the 2 pieces of fabric, the tag tail, and the interfacing, I trace the tag shape onto the heavy interfacing.    I sew on this line.

 I now cut the heavy interfacing without the seam allowance... so that would be 3.25" wide for this tag.  I stitch exactly on the edge of the interfacing.  It saves me from trimming the sides. 

Then everything else is the same.   Trim interfacing, trim  corners, turn inside out.  Then continue on with the pattern.
