Use your favorite tank top and sweat pants patterns, to make a drawstring pants / tank shirt ensemble for your teen. This makes a wonderfully comfortable lounging outfit. By cutting out a design from the pants fabric, you can add an applique to the shirt.
There are two steps to using fusible web (also called iron-on adhesive). The first is to attach the adhesive to your transfer piece (the applique piece). The second step is to iron the applique onto your garment.
To learn a quick and easy method for using iron on adhesive and a pressing sheet (the applique pieces will not stick to the pressing sheet, which makes it
easy to create intricate appliques), visit our free instructions on Creating A Floral No-Sew Applique.
Be sure to check out our NOTIONS for iron-on adhesive and pressing sheets - great prices!
Sewing Supplies: scissors, quilting pins, large sewing ruler, seam ripper, Fusible web (iron-on adhesive)

| First, cut a piece of fusible web (such as Heat N Bond or Wonder Under - also called iron-on adhesive) large enough to cover your fabric design. Follow the directions on the iron-on adhesive. Be sure that the rough side is next to the back of your fabric. The paper side should be toward your ironing board. After the adhesive is ironed onto your applique piece, remove the paper backing.

| Next, cut out the design to the desired shape. Iron it onto the shirt.
|
 |
| |
| After the applique is ironed on, you can use fabric paints to outline the applique, or satin stitch around the applique. This keeps the applique's edges from fraying and helps keep it attached well.
