Materials:

Fabric scraps from a shirt and a pair of leggings

Instructions:

Sketch your design.
Sketch a basic outline for the applique design. Draw a full scale version on paper and indicate by color what fabric you will cut from. Cut out each individual applique paper shape to use as a template for cutting each piece from fabric. Sewn them onto the shirt.
Cut several strips at 1" width each (length per piece can be variable). Join several strips to make a long strap. Sew them on like bias tape.
After cutting out the pieces for the leggings hem it. Sew near the edges, leaving half an inch seam allowance.
Turn the other piece inside out and then insert right sides together. Matched up and sewn down the inseam.
Run down stitches on the waist and threaded the elastic through.
