DIY – Custom vintage style label | Tutorials

I love vintage labels. They are great to craft with. On Flickr you can find lots of pretty vintage labels but sometimes you want something with a specific, custom text. Today I want to teach you how to create a custom vintage label with Photoshop. If you don’t have Photoshop, Gimp is a good alternative. 1. First you need a good label to work with. I used this one  that I found on Flickr. You need a label with the text on solid color background. This way it’s easy to remove the text and replace it by your own. 2. Now you have to remove the background of the vintage label. I like to use the ‘clone stamp tool’ in Photoshop. Gimp has a similar tool. Alt-click to select which part you want to want to clone. Right click to define the diameter and the hardness of the tool. Now you have to remove the letters from the label. You might have alt-click a few times to get it right. 3. Choose a good font for your label. You can find a selection of vintage fonts here . I used Bazar

Method of doing "Flower design" in Canadian smocking | Tutorials

 In Flower design folds are created by joining 4 points of a square. From this stitch we can create as many designs as we want. It has got many names. One of them is" Bee cottage." Flower design is worked on the right side of the fabric. We cannot draw squares on the right side of the fabric as it shows. Only dots should be marked. Both the sides of this design are used to create designs. Mark rows of dots 2 cm or 3 cm or 4 cm apart on right side of the fabric according to the design and according to your taste. I find it difficult to mark dots in the front. So as usual I secure the fabric to my working table with 3M tape and draw squares back side of the fabric. Then I transfer the corner points of the squares to the right side with the help of a light colored carbon paper.
