kcwc fall 2011!

kcwc button for fall 2011

It’s time again for another edition of KCWC: kids clothes week challenge.  KCWC is a twice-annual event where I challenge you to commit to sew children’s clothes for an hour each day for 7 days. Fall is coming (at least in these parts) and my kids could use some cozy pants and sweaters–and pretty soon we’ll need hats and mittens too! All that sewing is a little overwhelming, but I am always amazed at how much I get done by putting in a bit of time every day.

If you have more questions about how KCWC works, you can jump over to the FAQ page. Then jump back here and leave a comment on this post telling me you are in! That’s all it takes. Then on the second week of October there will be hundreds (really, hundreds) of people cheering you on to make awesome clothes for your kids.

In the mean time, feel free to browse around the elsiemarley flickr group for inspiration–join the group so you can post pictures for this one–and look at my posts from older KCWCs! If you have a blog, you can copy and paste the button below (fancy, html code to come when tech support/husband returns).  So leave a comment and sign up! spread the word! sew like crazy!

    So looking forward to this! My children are not prepared for the approaching winter!

  12. Kylie says:

    I’m going to try it…with a 4-month-old and a husband in grad school, I MIGHT get 30 minutes a night to work. But if I’m diligent, those 30 minutes a night could yield a few things for my baby boy! I made my list and am excited to pick out fabric tonight!

  13. Sarah says:

    This will be my first KCWC. With a busy 28 month old and an equally busy one year old it’s a challenge to find time out of my day to get in sewing, but hopefully this will keep me going!

  14. Melissa Ann says:

    I’m in! Assuming that baby 3 stays in next week. I have two fall dresses cut out for the girls… need the inspiration to sit at the machine and sew. :)

  20. Tia says:

    I’m in, trying to get my kiddos fall/winter wardrobe started. Even though right now we are having 80 degree weather, I know we will have cooler weather soon and will feel so bad if they have nothing to wear!

  21. Rhoda says:

    I have a list! (Someof it is now adult sizes, but they are my Teens!
