Step 2To the sweater
I retraced my final pattern onto the paper side of Reynold Freezer Paper, (it is available in most major grocery stores. It has a shiny side and a paper side).
Lay two layer of sweater RST (right sides together) and iron the shiny side down to the sweater. The freezer paper will temporarily bond to the sweater to allow you to sew around your pattern shape with ease. DO NOT CUT YET!
Carefully sew around the pattern shape, keep as close as you can without sewing into the paper. If you are using a machine make sure to back stitch at the start and stop. If you are hand sewing make sure you use a back stitch or a very tight running stitch around the entire pattern.
After you sew around, carefully cut out your shape leaving a 1/4 inch seam allowance between the stitches and the newly cut edge. Be careful between the fingers. Remove the freezer paper pattern.
