Congress gives credit to Francis Hopkinson who designed the flag. The first flag was made for the navy in 1776 and it was a basic British flag with stripes. The second flag had stars where the British flag had a cross.

Who was the first person to sew the American flag and what did it look like?

The person largely credited for making the first American flag was Betsy Ross, doing so in the spring of 1776. At the time the flag had seven horizontal red stripes and 6 horizontal white stripes (red and white stripes represented the 13 states) except it the top left corner where on a blue background were 13 stars (again representing the 13 states) arranged in a circle. Basically it looked similar to the modern flag with a lot less stars.
