Crafter Question

[lalicopa]

I'm about to order my woven labels for the clothes and I'm a little undecided about what size to get. As of now, we're going with a 2x2 inch with 1/8 inch sewing allowance. Does that sound right? I'm afraid it's going to be one of those annoying tags you want to rip out of your shirt the first time you wear it. Unless I sew it on the OUTSIDE back collar...then I'd have to get an allowance on the top and bottom, right? Or maybe just get it 1/8 inch bigger all around to sew all 4 sides?

I really want to go ahead with this, but I don't want to regret what I order because it's a lot of money.

Advice needed and appreciated.

Thanks!

I vote for sewing on the outside. I saw a kid at the fair wearing the *cutest* outfit, with the tag on the outside. Unfortunately, I couldn't walk close enough to see the brand name. So it's free advertising for one.

Plus I have a tag-averse kid, and would be picking the stitches out of an inside tag.
