kids clothes week fall 2012
September 18th, 2012
The temperature has dropped and fall is finally on it’s way! It must be time for another edition of KCWC. Kids Clothes Week Challenge is a bi-annual event here on elsie marley where I challenge you to sew one hour a day, each day for 7 days. The idea is that we all have the urge to sew clothes for our children, but we don’t always give ourselves the time to do it. If you commit to sitting in front of your sewing machine, or tracing patterns, or cutting fabric, for one hour each day, then at the end of the week you will have some very well dressed kids. And a very proud mama too!
If you would like to know more about kcwc you can check out the kcwc faq page. You can also head to the elsie marley flickr group to check out creations from kcwc past or see all my posts on kcwc here.
So what are you waiting for? Sign up! How do you sign up? Just leave a comment on this post telling me that you are in. Then go tell all your friends to sign up too! Spread the word on twitter, instagram, pinterest, tumblr with the #kcwc hashtag. Slap a button on your blog or on your facebook page. Link to this post and try to get all your facebook friends who sew to join too. I bet your mom would like to be invited. Last year I think there we had almost 700 people sign up. Can we make it to 800? 900? Now I’m starting to sound like a politician! Go knock on some doors for kcwc!

[…] stuff in the Kids Clothes Week Challenge flickr group, I’m wowed and inspired! (more on KCWC here).And when I look at what the ladies are doing online at Project Run and Play (a weekly competition) […]
The first time I signed up I made nothing; in the spring I managed one garment. So if I can pull off two things this time I will be doing well! Getting excited to see everyone’s creations, and I’m also excited to see what Meg has planned for the lead-in this time. I always enjoy the getting-ready blog posts.
I’m in!
count me in! i’ve been stalking for years!
I’m in, hopefully I will make actually something this time ;-)
my FAVORITE time of the year… I’m in!!!
Learned about this from Threadbias.com. I’m in, maybe I’ll finally finish some of my long time planned projects!
Great idea! I’m definitely in.
Hi! After watching the KCWC from the sidelines earlier in the year, I am totally signing up this time! We’re moving house early in November so I might not get a chance to sew for a while after that – got to work on some summer clothes for my girls while I can (I’m in Australia).
[…] month there will be Kids’ Clothes Week Challenge by Elsie Marley on October 8-14, and Sidra can use some new clothes for cooler weather. He has […]
Count me in!
I’m in. I only made one piece of clothing for my daughter in her first year of life and that’s just not acceptable. I’m hoping this challenge will motivate me to make more!
I am so glad that you are doing this again. My daughter wears her cardigans I made last April all of the time. I think I am going to join up. I have quite a few to dos for my daughter in the pile.
[…] i signed up for the kids clothes week challenge over at elsie marley. i’ve been accidentally following this project for a few years now, […]
I am new to sewing, have only been knitting and crocheting so far, but I have the fabric ready to go and make my son one beauty of a pair of trousers! Here goes nothing… Im so excited! :-)
In!!
I’m in. I love sewing for my little boogers – Froo & Boo.
In : )
I am in for sure and will be posting on my blog.
I’m in! Can’t wait!!
I’ll be attending. Hoping to finish more than I have the last two.
Can’t wait!! I got so much accomplished for my daughter last time, I have plans to do it again – next size up. She’s finally wearing everything I made last time, so now I can focus on winter stuff. I think I’ll do all my planning and pattern tracing and maybe cutting this coming week, so I can have as many FOs as possible knocked off my list.
I love to see what everyone comes up with.
ok, I’m in. Crazy, but in.

Will try my hand at a pair of pants for my girl!
