This tutorial is all about how to make your own applique from fabric scraps and then how to add that applique to a t-shirt to upcycle it, so you’ll wear it more often!
First, you want to pick two scraps that are sort of longer than they are high; you want them to be wide enough to slightly hang off the end of your template on either side.
Put the right sides together and stitch along where the raw edges meet, making sure that the bottom fabric piece is big enough that when you flip open the top piece, the end of your template is still covered.
In order to attach your applique to your t-shirt in preparation for stitching, you need to cut out a double-sided fusible bonding agent. I use Heat n’ Bond Lite.
