Trace the leaf design on the dull side of plastic coated freezer paper.
Trace and cut 232 leaf templates.
If necessary, cut your fabric into approximately 6" wide strips.
Place a 6"wide strip wrong side up on your ironing board. Position
freezer paper templates on the rectangle, shiny side up, on the bias,
leaving room for a ⅜" seam around the template. Press the templates
onto the fabric. Trim the excess fabric, leaving ⅜" around the pattern.
You can get about 5 leaves per 22" strip.
