The cutest labels - Hippo Blue

This is my youngest daughter Jacquie. Jacquie is 3, turning 4 very soon and goes to day care once a week. She also has speech therapy once a week and bad mummy packs her food in plastic bags and old lunch boxes and scribbles her name on paper labels. 

Jacquie is very happy today because she's sporting a brand new lunch box which has her name imprinted on it and it was made by Hippo Blue. Jacquie is in dire need of special name labels and that is where Hippo Blue saved my day and made everything look pretty.
Hippo Blue made up a batch of their Vinyl Label Variety pack and I could not be more pleased. I've had other labels before and these ones are quite impressive. Why? well because there's a lot more variety. I like how there are different sizes so I can plaster her name on all her pieces she needs for day care and school.

Did you see those cute footprint stickers? They're shoe stickers. How cool! We also recieved round dots and new square ones which I've never seen before. Mmmmm. We got Jumbo and Large too; yes, there's a difference! 

Here is the lunch box filled with her water bottle and finally a label on her lunch box using one of the small name labels. She is a little fairy princess after all. The lunch box is very roomy and it should last for when she starts pre-school next year.
 I chose the Pink Bird theme but they have plenty of others to choose from. It's hard to choose just one but it's easy to apply the different themes on their web site to see how it would look. I think it's adorable.
This is the Jumbo name label on her clear folder. I keep all her speech therapy cards and activities in it. I love how nice it looks now and it's a great size. All Hippo Blue's name labels are made from high quality sourced vinyl. They're extra sticky and extra durable which allows them to be dishwasher, waterproof and microwave friendly!!!

If you check out their web site they have really good specials on at the moment. You can get their labels on special now. What can you get in The Vinyl Variety pack?
The vinyl variety pack includes: 

- Pencil/Mini - 52 x 12mm – 32 labels.
- Standard - 52 x 24mm –  16 labels.
- Large - 104 x 24mm –  8 labels.
- Jumbo - 96 x 31mm – 6 labels.
- Shoe - 48 x 35mm – 8 labels + 8 clear overlays (extra protection)
- Circle - 38 x 38mm – 8 labels.
- Square - 42 x 42mm – 8 labels.

TOTAL AMOUNT OF LABELS = 86 Vinyl labels + 8 clear overlays.









That's amazing. I'd totally recommend trying them out. They have many more items on their on-line store. Get in quick before their offers end. You don't want to miss out!

Thanks again to Hippo Blue for being a great Australian company.

Invisible zipper foot - Birch

I thought I might shed some light on the invisible zipper foot. I bought a Birch model from Spotlight and it came in a little plastic bag with four blue shanks and a rolling foot. First I removed the standard foot from my Janome sewing machine (Sewist 521). I realised I still needed to remove the shank, which is the part that is screwed on, and holds the interchangeable feet. So with one hand holding the screwdriver and one hand holding my daughter, who just had to watch, it popped out disappeared somewhere. NO! I was about to kick myself but luckily I found it in the basket underneath my table. Phew. The Birch invisible zipper foot comes with one shank already in place so you know how it's suppose to fit. You have to select the correct shank that fits your machine and slide it onto the foot piece. I just tried each blue part on my machine and made sure it was wide enough to cover the metal leg bit and that I could fit the screw in it's side. Once you find the correct shank sl...
