Another KCWC has come and gone and you have made it amazing! One little nudge and suddenly all these cute kids have closets full of beautiful handmade clothes. The momentum this kcwc was unreal. Usually there is about a 50/50 split between the fizzle outers and the get ‘r doners, but it seemed like everyone was getting stuff done this fall. No reason to let that good sewing mojo go to waste. I know you have a life to get back to, but don’t forget that just a little bit early in the morning or after the kids go to bed a couple times a week adds up to a lot of finished projects!
1. clever charlotte 2. too sweets 3. tea collection 4. charm stitch 5. crafty mamas 6. ida pearle 7. secret cake 8. sew many patterns 9. re+new by five green acres 10. vistaprint 11. little part 12. that’s me! want to be a sponsor?
I was very excited to see all the new faces this kcwc as well. You can find some great new (to you) blogs I’m sure either in the comments section of this post or from this flickr discussion. We all need to support each other in our crafty endevors! You can continue to support your fellow sewist by subscribing to their blog (and mine right there in the sidebar)– it’s like a virtual pat on the back. A little encouragement can do a lot, just look at the kcwc flickr pool! And my amazing sponsors could use your support too. We are all in this together!
Thanks Meg for a fun week! Let’s do it again!!!
Thanks for including my wool vest and leggings! What a fun week. I look forward to the spring challenge:)
thanks SO much for including my girlies (and pjs)! what a great week… i have enjoyed getting to know so many new crafty folks. i def found a ton of great new-to-me blogs to follow :)
It was a blast, as always. Thanks for giving an encouraging nudge here and there to get us through the week.
Thank you so much for hosting. It was so much fun and I am already planning more projects after seeing all the great inspiration. I love how this challenge connects all us crafty mamas, I’m very excited about all the new blogs I have to follow.
Thanks for a fun week of sewing. I wish I could have done some fun dresses and such BUT…. thanks to KCWC, all 3 of my kids have what their wardrobes ALL needed….new cozy PJs for the winter. NOW, I can sit down here and there at night and work on the super fun stuff, knowing they’re tucked in nice and warm. :)
Thanks for including my boy’s super cool linen pants above! I’ve had such a fun, creative, & productive week and met some new friends. Thank you! All this from seeing something over on pinterest! Can’t wait to join everyone in the spring…. there is a spring kcwc right? Woo-hoo :)
thanks so much for including the photo of my charcoal gray & mustard yellow Abby Jacket !! I always appreciate these kids clothes weeks ~ they are just what I need to motivate me to get some sewing projects done (I need deadlines) & I always enjoy looking through the flickr pool ~ so much inspiration :)
Thanks so much for hosting!!! This was my first time and I made it all the way to Day 5 before fizzling out! I’m so happy with all the things I made and look forward to the challenges to come! Thanks, thanks again!
Thanks for hosting, Meg! I was going strong until the weekend and then life took over. So I have a little homework left to do this week – making the good things last a little longer.. :)
This was so fun! Thank you so much for including my strawberry skirt in the final wrap up. I do actually have one more finished project to post tomorrow!
Thanks for the mention here :) It has been great fun to get amongst KCWC! I will definitely be joining the next one too. And your blog is Fantastic!! Well done :)
Thank you for putting my raincoat up there! Its always fun to make it on someone’s blog. I love going through the flickr group and getting acquainted with lots of new bloggers! Thank you for doing this!
thanks so much for including my shirt here…she wore it today! and for helping me “get out of my head” and remember how good it feels to make something… this was a great week and i am hoping to keep the momentum going.
thanks for featuring my girls and their shirts! And thanks so much for the virtual kick in the pants..it’s something I look forward to, definitely!
Well done everyone! This is the first one I’ve had to sit out as I was away the whole week and it was awful! Not the holiday, which was nice, but not being able to join in and get that fabulous sense of accomplishment that I’ve experienced in past challenges. Can’t wait for the next one!
Uau! This time I do it! Now I need to put im my blog :) But I finish the week with new clothes.
And I have one very similar (also the colours) with the pocket shirt :)
[…] my sewing mojo. So sad, isn’t it? I was even considering opting out of theElsie Marley kids clothes challenge week , which I’ve done a few times […]
I had a great time, as usual. Thank you.
Thanks for including my dino romper! I love KCWC, even though it makes me feel like the slowest sewist on the planet.
Thanks for including my little girl and her peasant top & skirt – what a lovely surprise to see!
I think I’ve enjoyed each KCWC more and more each time (this was no. 3 for me), and one thing I really love is ‘meeting’ all these lovely fellow sewists who I wouldn’t know were out there without KCWC! So, thanks ;-)
Really amazing photos :)
