I know there are a lot of tutorials about it, but short version is:
1.Iron two or three pieces of freezer paper together to get a nice sturdy piece.
2. Draw your pattern on the dull side (reversed of course) and cut out.
3. Iron to wrong side of your fabric and cut out with an appropriate amount of fabric to turn in.
4. (My trick for the next step--using a can of spray starch, spray some starch into a small bowl. It will turn into a small amount of liquid starch) Paint starch around the edges of the fabric, fold in over the pattern piece and iron the starch dry.
5. Pull out the pattern piece and re iron the folded piece.
