I have a sweet set of Japanese Sewing Stamps that I bought from Cute Tape. I love the sewing motifs, and used them to make some fabric labels.
Using ink pads that are suited to fabric, I stamped some images on cotton twill tape and heat set them with the iron.
I sewed them onto scraps of fabric to make some little tags that I will used to decorate sewing projects.
While the stamps were out, I also stamped some shipping tags. Thanks to a sweet friend who gave me heaps of old sewing patterns, I have plenty of pattern tissue for gift wrapping. It works really well with some Japanese masking tape.

What a great idea. The fabric you used is so nice. And I just love masking-tape. I'm glad that I got a lot as a present. You can do so many things with it.

I wonder if your sweet friend is the same one that gave me some old pattern papers.(I dont know how she can part with them). Great tags and a wonderful idea.
So cute! Love your wrapping paper!
