Tip of the Day: After constructing several garments from the same pattern, the tissue pieces are often in tatters. In order to make them durable again, I iron each piece and seal the largest tears with tape. I then iron freezer paper to the back side of each piece, overlapping sheets for especially large pattern pieces. The freezer paper sticks to the tissue without adhesive and makes the flimsy tissue patterns nearly indestructible. They remain lightweight enough to fold and store, without the hassle of tracing each piece. Now, whenever I purchase a new pattern, I iron freezer paper to the back of the pattern sheet even before I cut out the pieces. It’s a quick and easy step that I know will keep my patterns in great shape for many years and many garments.
