Oh NO!- That's what goes through my mind when I have to finish a curvy hem... I know I have to iron it first but, how to do it without burning my fingers??? I hope this will help!

Technique Materials

Cardboard or and old magazine, aluminum foil, the pattern of the piece, iron, scissors, marker and tape.

    That’s an ingenious, great idea but could’ve done without the environmental preachyness, sorry.

    Very smart! thank you! I did think first, what about the aluminum…but if you reuse then it’s ok
