Two sets of friends were going on big trips to mark landmark birthdays and I thought it would be nice to make some travel tags for their bags.
I used red spotty material because it reminds me of Dick Whittington and his knotted hanky bag.
I first appliqued letters onto pieces of material and then cut out the tag around it to approx 1 cm from the letter, using pinking shears.
Then I sandwiched some wadding in the centre and folded a strong piece of ribbon to make the handle.
I sewed around the edge passing over the ribbon several times to make it secure.
The ribbon needs to be a bit longer as it attaches to a bag handle by passing the tag through the loop.
They certainly stand out from the crowd and were well received by their recipients.
Bon Voyage.
