Tutorial: 4th of July pocket tees

The 4th of July is a little over a week away, but there’s still time to whip up some cute patriotic t-shirts to wear. Melissa from Polkadot Chair shows how you can make these flag pocket tees and also a cute applique for the back of a shirt. The applique is a map of the United States with a heart right in the center. One afternoon and you could make them for the whole family to wear to a 4th of July picnic or family gathering.
