*This is a great way to use outgrown, stained, ripped, or otherwise unworn clothing.
**If you have some artistic talent, you can sketch your own image like I did but you can get great applique images from coloring books too. I suggest starting with a simple image until you get comfortable with the process.

- Cut down a section of coordinating fabric to a size slightly larger than your image.
- Trace your image onto a section of freezer paper. If you plan to applique multiple fabrics then a freezer paper image for each fabric is necessary.
- Using medium heat iron setting, iron the freezer paper to the RIGHT side of your fabric.
- Cut down a section of Heat N Bond Fusible Interfacing and iron to WRONG side of fabric according to the package directions.
- Cut out your image from your interfacing, fabric, freezer paper sandwich and gently peel away freezer paper.
- Arrange your image on your t shirt RIGHT sides up.
- Set aside all pieces except the bottom (or base image) of your applique cut out.
- Iron bottom image to the t shirt per directions.
- Stitch around edge with embroidery thread.
- Add the next image layer and repeat steps 8 and 9.
