Quick Tip- Freezer Paper and Patterns

One tip I picked up from my sewing instructor is this, if you have a pattern that you would like to use over and over again, use freezer paper.

Take your pattern piece and iron it onto freezer paper, it makes the patterns more stable and they won't rip easily.

You want to first iron your pattern piece flat and make sure it is wrinkle free. 


Then iron the two together until they won't separate and it is completely flat.
 

I trimmed my pattern piece after backing it with freezer paper just to make sure my edges are nice and clean. 

Side by side comparison of patterns pieces before and after.
Enjoy!
