TUTORIAL- Tagless Clothing for Multiple Ages and Needs (Posted to my blog because this is GINORMOUS as a 'reply'! Thank you for your patience, regular readers!)
Who “needs” tagless clothing? Isn't Hanes™ doing that for tee shirts and underwear? Well, first, most shirt tags are those double, scratchy nightmare things that sit above the collar of an underwear shirt, even crew-necked, and the tags in pants can be equally horrid, and make it impossible to wear a shirt untucked over them. While MANY people with tag sensitivities are on the autistic spectrum, not ALL are, and I believe this reflects society's tendency to make “Normal” and “Other” absolute values, rather than reflecting the true BREADTH of reactions which are still “Normal.” (Soapbox mode off.)
Follow to my blog for the full tutorial, which seems long and overly complicated, but it is easy enough for a ten-year-old to do with minimal supervision, involves several short steps rather than a crafting marathon, and does not require sewing skills. REPLIES HERE, critiquing my style (it's my first written tutorial) would be helpful. REPLIES THERE are best reserved for questions about process. Please!
There are tricks to removing tags, but the BEST way does involve sewing that bit of seam again. Would anyone want tips and a tutorial for this? Considering it Sewing Level 0, explaining everything as if you've never threaded a needle before.
