Well, you start out doing the applique on the pocket, then stitch the girl to the shirt, then applique the pocket onto the shirt. The design has the guide lines in it so that you know where to stich. I think that it turned out really cute. When doing the pocket you leave material to the top of the design so that it turns over to make the pocket back. Pretty neat. What I liked about the design is that it has both the boy and girl elf so that this can be used for boys and girls. Hubby told me that the shirt with the "K" was too small. I asked him if he wanted one LOL
