kcwc fall 2011!
September 13th, 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!

I’m in! I have a pile of super cute fabrics and some patterns and I hope to do better than just the one outfit from last time. Hehe
I will try my very best… I’m so excited! I hope I do better than in the spring. I just blogged about it, as well!
ok..so I sew kids clothes for a living (well..sort of a living!) BUT…I want to do the challenge and kids clothes for my 2 girls – cause they always dip out on the stuff I make to sell! They are not going to know what hit them!!!
I’m in! But I think I may have to change the dates a little. My eldest is having a birthday and we will have visitors from the 15th, so I might start on the 8th.
OK, I’m in! I’ll be backwards though – Spring sewing…now, to make a list :-)
I am in! I have been so terribly crap at making things for my little ones over the past year that I need this as a little kick up the bottom. Can’t wait!
[…] the wee sewn clothes I’ll be whipping out next week for my threadbare children. The Kids Clothes Week Challenge (KCWC) starts next Monday – have you signed […]
I’m in!! Hopefully this will get the half done pants etc. off the dining table, out of the cupboard and on to my kddies :-) Lets see how we go!
I’m in. My little one could use some pjs and warm weather gear, plus I need to make a dent in my ever-growing fabric stash.
I’m in! I need to finish some of these projects I have started and my little man needs some pants for fall!
Ok, you’ve sufficiently convinced me. I’m in.
Last year I was an observer, this year I’m joining in the fun! :-)
I am in! My birthday falls during this week, so what better gift than to spend a bit of every day sewing!
I’m in for my first time on the challenge…my projects are piled up in my head, ready to get them out in the world!
I’m in! I have a pile of fabric and cut out patterns ready to go!
I am in too! My son has outgrown everything…
[…] speaking of lists: Another list that is somewhat more fun is my Kids Clothes Week Challenge list. I really enjoyed last spring’s KCWC, and was excited to find there an autumn one on […]
First year doing it but I’m totally in!
I’m in! I have a new little one due at the beginning of November, and my 2.5 year old has been asking hopefully if Mommy would “make me one more dress” or “some pink pants before the baby comes.” I’ve been struggling with end of pregnancy sluggishness, but this will be just the think I need to keep me accountable. She’s getting an O+S Jump Rope Dress, at least one jumper, a couple simple shirts, and a least one pair of (pink) pants per her request. Cutting out fabric started today.
[…] and exclamation points about how cute it was and how i hoped the pattern would be available before KCWC. apparently she had forgotten to include me in her call for pattern testers earlier that day! […]
You know I’m in, Meg! Can’t wait!
sigh. i am out of town until the 12th :( but maybe i can bring my son’s christmas stocking with me and work on it while we drive! (not me driving… that wouldn’t be safe…hehe). now i just have to run off and find it… we also just moved and EVERYTHING is in boxes!!!
I’m in… things are looking positive for a week of evenings spent sewing!
I’m in! Super excited about fall clothes!
[…] Sewing! **Although I do need to remind everyone that the Kids Clothes Week Challenge Fall 2011 (aka KCWC, hosted by the awesome Meg of Elsie Marley) is coming up very soon next week (with a nice pre-party […]
