Labels In Kid's Clothes

My husband had a flashback to one of his mother's frugal tips for keeping clothes in the right place in their busy home of 6: 1 mom, 1 day, 1 boy, and 3 girls. She took some ribbon, wrote the kid's name on it, and stitched it on to the item in question. It kept items from getting lost or finding their way into the wrong dressers :-o
