How DO you sew name tags into socks?

[funnypeculiar]

without leaving your child with horrid scratchy feet?

Clever responses that don't involve name tags will be frowned on , as PFB collection of lovely name tags await me

I have 2 DD and 1 DS (60 sox! fall and summer are different)... I take an old flat light bulb and put it in the toe, then sew the name labels across the toe. Thankfully, I only have a few replacements to do this year.

sewing?
socks?
Sorry I don't understand you.

The transfer ones if you must! Why on earth would one tumbledry socks????

I am very glad to hear I am not the only one who went at the idea of this.

Q: how do you sew name labels into socks?
A: You don't!

People do this?????

you buy cheap ones and shrug if they get lost

whenever my two have the same style, I write their initial in the top so I can pair them after washing

but I try to get different patterns to avoid this tedium tbh

M&S have sizes in their school socks to stop them from getting mixed up when pairing after washing. Great idea!

I don't. I nail labels to nearly everything, but it's easy come easy go with socks for us.

Also agree, buy lots the same and you'll always manage to find a pair.

Keeping them lovely and white is another lost battle as well.

Frogs have faith - the ink transfer things worked perfectly on DS's sports socks and have withstood the washing, soaking, boil washing, etc needed to get small boys' white socks white again.

His 'proper' school socks cost a fortune (school shop only ) and will withstand any attempt to iron anything on to them so I have gone with the clip-in labels under the cuffs (unfortunate when DS pulls them over his knees as they then show, but still...)

The fifth ape (love the name!) - agree - ASDA have incredibly cheap plain blacksocks - somehting like 5 for £1. And they are trained to put them in their shoes if they take them off @ school, and in their own laundry box ' home. No issues pairing as they are all identical, and 'weekend' socks with characters are easy (for them!) to pair up.

Yes agree with stealthsquiggle, have faith Frogs, my son has had his one year, on M&S black socks and we have NEVER (stamps foot) had them come off or peel and I tumble dry them.

We also got them from easy2name.

Just preparing to pack DS's case for boarding school, so everything has to be named as it goes through school laundry. Tedium galore. I've spent years naming his socks (he's year 8 as of next week, 12yo) but I've given up on DD's and will replace of she loses; she's in such a small class that things rarely go awry.
