I just finished reorganizing my Etsy Favorites and would love to share them with you! I recently found a fabulous feature on Etsy called “Lists”. If you love using Pinterest, you will like Etsy lists. Lists allows you to save your Etsy favorites into separate categories (as many as you want). So you can add a list for patterns, supplies, gifts……you could even separate those lists into gifts for mom, patterns for kids, and more!!!
If you have never checked out Etsy, you really should. Etsy offers one of a kind, hard to find items from independent sellers. You can find out more in my previous posts about what crocheters will find on Etsy and why quilters will love Etsy. I have also included a lot of Etsy products in my gift lists!!
Before I go on, you should know that I am an Etsy affiliate. This means that if you click on my links, I receive a small commission for any products you buy. This helps to keep my website active so I can continue sharing with you! Nana only becomes an affiliate with companies she loves and can honestly recommend and Etsy is one of my favorite places to shop.
It is so easy to make a list on Etsy. Simply click on something you love. You will find a heart in the upper right corner of the listing photo. Click the heart and it is now added to your favorites…..but you will also see a black bar that says “add to list”. If you click that “add to list” button, you are able to create a list or add the item to a list you already have! So easy!! NEED HELP? Click here for a great tutorial.
Here is a taste of the things I found. Click the heading to see the whole list! Happy shopping!
Crochet patterns
There are literally thousands of crochet patterns to be found for “almost free” prices. Most are instant downloads. I have downloaded a number of patterns and they have all been exceptionally easy to follow. I actually had so many patterns in my Etsy favorites, I made a number of lists –
Crochet supplies
You can find everything you need to crochet – yarn, yarn bowls and bags, crochet hooks and more. I love that I can find a number of discontinued and unique yarns.
Quilting patterns
If you are following Nana because you quilt, fear not!!. You can also find many quilting patterns on Etsy. Designed by independent artists, the patterns on Etsy range from easy to follow blocks to fabulous art quilts.
Quilting supplies
Absolutely everything you need to begin quilting or add to your craft. Scissors, rulers, mats, batting and much more. And the FABRIC. Oh the FABRIC!! Custom designed, vintage, discontinued, precut bundles………….
One of my favorite shops, Spoonflower, will custom make fabric from any design you choose including your own!!
Gifts I would love
Looking for a gift for your favorite crafter. With so many unique items, Etsy is the ultimate gift store.
Favorite shops
When I find a shop that has a number of items that I want, the shop becomes one of my favorites. Then it is very easy to find what I am looking for by checking out the shop. Kind of like going into your favorite store without leaving your computer!
OK. I am being to sound like an infomercial. But I absolutely love Etsy and you probably will too! Just click and check them out. Be sure you have a bit of time, because I think you will be surprised and want to explore all they have to offer.
