Freezer paper fabric printing

I would love to have my own fabric screenprinted. And maybe one day i will. But until then i have to find other creative ways. During my last visit to NY I've bought some original Freezer Paper.
I had read a lot of interesting things about the different kinds of usage of freezer paper, got some tips and tricks from my lovely blogvisitors and got everything i needed to get started. The paper, the fabric, images i wanted printed. I picked some illustrations from vintage children's books and postcards. And then i sat down to think it through. Don't want my beloved printer slash copier slash scanner to break in the process.

In the end it wasn't even that difficult, but it was an adventure doing it. Basically, you just iron the fabric to the freezer paper and run it through your printer.
The freezer paper has a regular paper side and a waxy side. I started by cutting the freezer paper to the size of a regular sheet of printer paper and then lightly ironed the fabric to the waxy side of the freezer paper. If you would want to try this, don't put the iron too hot, medium will do. It will make the paper stick to the fabric and at the same time easy to remove later. When you're ironing check if the paper is sticking to the fabric. If not, just iron some more until it does.
Then cut around the paper through the fabric so they're still stuck to each other, but now the same "printer paper" size. You can also start out by cutting both the fabric and the freezer paper separately and then iron them together, but i like to cut afterwards. You don't want no loose ends go through the printer, the edges must match up, otherwise threads can get stuck inside (yep! happened to me, spoils all the fun of the printing adventure).
When you're sure its ok you can use the sheet of paperfabric like you would a regular sheet of paper in your printer. Maybe stating the obvious; know how you should place the paperfabric sheet (which side up), you want to print on the fabric, not the freezerpaper.
After you hit the print command, let it dry and gently peel the fabric from the freezer paper. You don't have to throw away the freezer paper, you can re-use it a couple of times!

When using this technique you don't want to wash the fabric afterwards. The ink won't hold up. There are waterproof inkjet cartridges on the market and there is a liquid you put on the fabric before you print, but i have neither. So I'll only use my prints in projects that aren't prone to end up in the washing machine.

**Note later today: While doing my blog reading round i just found out that Maria over at One Hour Craft has posted a link to a recently posted tutorial on A Beautiful Craft doing what? Yes, freezer paper fabric printing. I feel a bit silly and slow now. My first instinct was to delete this post of mine, there is no need for it right? But decided not to and leave it here anyway. *feeling soooo unoriginal right now...*
