Welcome to the 7th week post of the 52 weeks of hot pads / quilted pot holders.

 

 

I thought it would be a great challenge for me to do a pot holder a.k.a hot pads every single week of 2019.

I am planning on having it displayed in my kitchen. They make great decor don’t they?

While I am at it, I am going to be sharing with you a simple tutorial on the process.

You can join in the challenge and make the same hot pads I make every week with the same design or any of your own choice.

Our sewing space can easily get cluttered sometimes.

I get it. Creative people are sometimes (or always) messy. For a fact, I know that some people feel more productive and creative working in a messy space. But messy is not exactly equivalent to clutters.

You can have a mess of your favourite things laying around your space yet still be efficient and creative.

On the other hand, you can  have a lot of clutters, meaning, unnecessary things that might be a hindrance while you are being creative because you have to waste time going through them to look for what you actually need. 

I think we need to check in with reality sometimes, and just take the time to declutter without hesitation to clear the spaces that are occupied unnecessarily by some things that are no longer important.

In this post, I am recommending 10 days for each decluttering task so you can declutter your sewing space and make room for what really matters.

[Disclaimer: This is not a sponsored post. I did however was given to try the custom Labels and am so excited about it!]

Hey there….

I know you love to make handmade gifts.

I also know that you sometime make them last minute.

And you rush through it and didn’t just complete it just the way it should be.

Or you skip the handmade-by-you label and just send it off.

O, that’s not you? Sorry, I guess I’m talking to myself then.

Cause THAT just describes ME.

I wish I am more particular about those thing. And I believe that a LABEL on your handmade would make the impression last a little longer.

Not that they won’t remember you, but you know it makes it a little more professional looking. Or at least more handmade looking. Professionally handmade.

Someone could also pass your website or your little blog. I’m pretty sure The Little Mushroom Cap isn’t going to be as easy to remember.

Someone might just remember the quirky mushroom bit.

Right? Would you agree?

Oh, I’m still talking to myself. Weird. LOL. But you get the point right?

And, a CARE LABEL would be perfect too! The thought of care labels reminds me of those big IKEA labels on their things.

I never really read them though, (erks, I only read the care labels for delicate things and handmade items). I am sure someone who really wants to care for the things you made them would love to have a care label to go with your handmade item.

Then, they know how to treat them right.

How to wash them in case they need to.

Too much work to put create a label?

I think if we have it in stock, it would be so much easier wouldn’t?

Well, I had the opportunity to try out Dutch Labels and was happy with the labels I got.

I love that this one has glittery looks to it.

I am sure to use this onto my handmade items now. So easy to sew it on and they are simple yet effective.

I don’t promote people to buy from me, cause I rarely make to sell but having that label on the things I made just made it more special. And receivers appreciate it too. Funnily. But they do.

 

Dutch Label also have CARE LABELS.

Yes, you can have those custom printed too.

Easy, now you can just those too and voila, a perfect Care Label for the your handmade item.

Have a Handmade Business? – This is a MUST.

If you do own a small handmade business or sometime sell at craft stalls, DO NOT SKIP THE LABEL.

I love that this one has glittery looks to it.

I have had many handmade things that I wish I could remember who made it so I could buy more of or pass the name to a friend, but there’s no label. Or probably there was a removable label. I don’t remember it when time passes.

If you love it then you want to PUT A LABEL ON IT! [*Insert Beyonce’s Put A Ring On it Song]

And with items that are sewn, it is much easier to sew the label on where it would not disturb the function of the item and yet distinctive enough to see. I hand-sewed mine in these examples, just because the pouches were already made and done. Otherwise, I would have machine sewn it when it was still easy to do so.

Um, before I go, here is another flat lay I’m trying to practice after learning a little bit about it in this class.

Just for the fun of this new technique I’m learning.

Now, I have every reason to collect little props. Right?

Welcome to my first post of the 52 weeks of hot pads / quilted pot holders.

I am a little late for kicking this off as the first week of 2019 has already just flown by.

But… I did make this hot pad in the first week. Was just a little late on posting it out on the blog as I am currently having a little bit of technical difficulties behind the scene. Forgive me then if you are going to see me posting two hot pads in a week sometimes.

 

Anyway,

I thought it would be a great challenge for me to do a pot holder a.k.a hot pads every single week of 2019.

I am planning on having it displayed in my kitchen. They make great decor don’t they?

While I am at it, I am going to be sharing with you a simple tutorial on the process.

You can join in the challenge and make the same hot pads I make every week OR, you can just make your own design or pattern!
