Applique Sewing Shirt Project

Cut out simple shapes such as a, heart, square, or circle out of your material. Lay your shapes on your t-shirt however you want to design it. Pin them in place on your shirt where you'd like it sewn. Cut a piece of interfacing the same size as your design. Iron on interfacing on the inside side of the shirt.

Turn right sides out and sew around all edges using a decorative stitch. Or a simple zigzag works best for this project. Double check before you start sewing that you are only sewing the front of the shirt and the back is not underneath.
