Wind-chill temperatures in Denver were in the negative double digits (F) the previous few days when I created this summer chapeau.

Do you have soft, cuddly garments in your closet that are degraded by uncomfortable, scratchy labels? Life is too short to tolerate that, so remove the labels.

Contact ReSewn if you have a several garments that need labels removed. If you are concerned about forgetting fiber content for laundering and storage, take a photo of the garment with the label and save it in a digital folder.
