kcwc goodness
May 2nd, 2011
Next week is the Kids Clothes Week Challenge! Are you making big lists of what you’re going to sew? In the past during in the week leading up to KCWC I posted sewing tutorials and beautiful children’s clothes for inspiration. But this year I’m putting all that good stuff on Pinterest. Pinterest, if you don’t know, is a new bookmarking site where you can easily post pictures of things you like and it will automatically link back to where you found it. It is an incredibly handy tool. For KCWC I’ve created a few boards that I will continue to fill with amazing kids clothes. One is full of sewing tutorials and the other gorgeous clothes:
The photos in this post are some of the awesome tutorials and clothes I have found so far. You can follow me on pinterest to see when I post more.
If you’re not on pinterest or have no interest in joining, no worries. There is plenty of inspiration out there, like all the round ups I’ve done for KCWC in the past. Now in one handy spot:
SPRING CLOTHES
- boys clothes tutorials and inspiration
- girls clothes tutorials and inspiration
- details tutorials and inspiration
- baby clothes tutorials and inspiration
FALL CLOTHES
- fall clothes tutorials and inspiration
- coats and sweaters tutorials and inspiration
- warm things for baby tutorials and inspiration
- hats, mittens and scarves tutorials and inspiration
And if that isn’t enough there is a flickr group full of clothes too! If you are signed up (if not, what are you waiting for?) you should join the elsiemarley flickr group if you haven’t already. That’s where we show off all the things we’ve made all week and check it to chat while we’re not at our machines.
There is one more big of KCWC goodness, if you can believe it. All this week I will be posting interviews with children clothes pattern designers. They all are amazing women with small business on etsy and most of their patterns are in PDF format. So you get to meet some fantastic creative people and then, if you like their patterns, you’ll have them right away! Not bad, eh? The first interview will be up later today, so stay tuned….
Thanx for kcwc! Love the idea of Pinterest but I still haven’t received my invite to join that I requested months ago :(
so, so awesome. Can’t wait to try some of these!! I love the pattern angle–this will be a good kcwc. I can feel it in my bones….
ooooo, can’t wait!
Thanks for the links, and a great idea to use Pinterest. I am keeping my fingers crossed that toddler and baby let me get some sewing done next week.
Stoked! Such an abundance of inspiration here – thank you!
I went on pinterest and could not figure out how to start.
