Remove a woven label

Written steps

1. Grab a seam ripper, small scissors, and tweezers.
2. Find the stitches holding the label. They’re usually along the top and bottom edges, or folded into a seam.
3. Slide the point of the seam ripper under one stitch and push to cut it. Work along the edge a few stitches at a time.
4. Once the stitches are cut, lift the label away gently. If it resists, find the stitch you missed instead of pulling.
5. Tweeze out any loose threads left behind.

Label sewn into a seam? Cut only the stitches that go through the label itself. If you cut the seam’s own stitches, the garment can open up.
