Applique is a technique where a small ornament is applied on top of another surface. I think of as an intentional patch of fabric.
There's tons of information about how to properly apply appliques, like this video from Craftster.
I'm more haphazard. A wraparound blouse from Old Navy that was my friend's castoff had a pretty blue, pink and navy pattern. I cut out easy-to-sew shapes like circles and ovals and either hand-stitched or used a zigzag stitch on my machine to create easy, peasy appliques. 'Cause that's how I roll.
In no particular order...
