That right! The Kids Clothes Week Challenge is next week already: October 8-14. I like to have a weeks worth of guest posts before kcwc to get you extra excited and inspired. Last year, I had five talented bloggers sew their version of Rae’s Flashback Skinny Tee. I loved seeing one pattern done so many different ways (see them here: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5). One of those ladies, Heather from Well Crafted, went on to use the pattern for every. single. one. of her kcwc projects! This fall I thought I’d do the same thing with a different pattern. I have five new phenomenal bloggers who took Dana’s Kid Pants pattern and worked their magic on it. I can’t wait to show you!

But first, last year I asked you to get the word out about kcwc and wow! did you ever get the word out! We had almost 700 participants sewing along dutifully every night for one week! So I’m going to ask you again. There are 250 people signed up already, but I bet you guys can double that in no time.
