For the Red, White and Blue

Each week EtsyKids team members search the hundreds and hundreds of EtsyKids listings on Etsy for items that catch their eye and co-inside with a fun theme of Daisycreek's choosing. These highlights are listed in our weekly promo thread on the Etsy Forums. This week she put out a call for everyone to show off their colors - their flag colors, that is. Here is just a small collection of items from our USA members that are highlighted this week. Check out this weeks thread for more great links, or to contribute your own.

HAPPY SATURDAY - HERE'S A TUTE

I've been sewing for almost 20 years now...sigh - I still remember when I first started...the sewing patterns read like stereo instructions - good grief!
Along the way I've learned a few shortcuts and tips and one of my favs is this method of sewing a pair of pants - and it works for any length or style of elastic waist pants or shorts. See the tutorial HERE.
Smooches!
