Jam jar labels
Stitching idea
Use pinking shears to trim the edge of your labels to give
them an extra dash of homespun charm. Cut close to your
stitching, leaving a border of at least one aida square.“I love my mum’s homemade jam
and look forward to taking a few
jars home every summer. I’m going
to stitch these labels as a way of
requesting my favourite flavours!”
