I decided to use this union jack design from an apples bag and put it on old jeans (which mum had just discarded after using the main part of the legs to make baskets).
So I cut out the design, placed it where I wanted it, then put greaseproof paper on top, then, using a hot iron, I ironed on top of the design. It was necessary to press down and keep iron on design for a long time, say 10+ seconds before moving it around to ensure each part of design was melted and stuck. I then let it cool and peeled off paper and voila!
The design did rip in some places, but with this design it doesn't matter.
Now... what can go wrong... (and why I didn't post this a while ago...)
Check that the fabric you're planning to put the design on is ironable!! In this case the bag must have been made from recycled plastic...oops.
