Luggage tags are not just for your suitcase, they are also great to use on your computer case or sewing machine luggage. This project is great for using some of those small scraps of fabric hanging around your sewing area or lounging in your fabric stash.

Supply List:
1 – 2” x 13 1/2” cotton fabric for strap
2 – 3 1/2” x 6 1/2” cotton fabric for tag
2 – 3” x 6” fusible interfacing
1 – 3” x 4 1/2” piece of clear vinyl

Sewing Instructions:

1. Fold strap fabric in half lengthwise wrong-sides together and finger press.
2. Open flat and fold each long edge to the center fold line.
3. Re-fold at the center line fold.

4. Edge stitch close to the folded edges. Set aside.
5. For both pieces of tag fabric, place the fusible interfacing 1/4” in from sides and flush with the top edge on the wrong-side of tag fabric. Fuse in place.
6. On one of the 3 1/2” x 6 1/2” tag fabric pieces, make a mark 3/4” along the top and side from each of the top corners.
7. Draw a diagonal line connecting the marks at each corner.
8. Stack the tag fabric pieces (top edges together) and cut off the corners along the marked lines.

9. Press 1/2” bottom edge to wrong side.
10. Fold the strap, raw ends together. Center the raw ends of the strap loop on the right side of the front tag fabric piece and stitch in place using a scant 1/4” seam allowance.
11. Place the back and front tag fabric pieces right-sides together. Make sure the strap is sandwiched between the front and the back fabric.
12. Sew around the tag leaving the bottom open for turning.
13. Turn the sandwich right side out – pulling on strap will help. Push out the corners. Press flat.

14. Top-stitch close to the edge around all the sides of the tag. This will close the bottom opening.

15. Center the vinyl on the tag and sew around three sides, leaving the side closest to the loop open. Start and end the stitching past the edge of the vinyl.
16. I used painters tape to hold the vinyl in place while stitching. I stitched through the tape. It was easy to remove.

17. Loop strap around handle of bag, then slip tag through loop.
18. Insert your form of ID in the vinyl pocket.
