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!

I’m in for my first KCWC! So excited.
I’ve admired the creations resulting from this week for many seasons now . . . but there was never a right time to commit. I do think this may be the year, and so . . . I’m in! Looking forward to it!
I love fall clothes! I’m in.
I always love a challenge. And my kids can use some new clothes! Looking forward.
OK! This time I mean it ….. I’m in :) I’ve learnt my lesson – I definitely need to prep first otherwise my procrastination will take up the entire week lol!!
I’m in! So glad I stumbled upon your site. This will surely get me to whip up those cute ruffled pants I’ve been wanting to make…and that my girls need now that the weather is cooling down! Thanks!!

I am nervous but I will give it my best shot. I will be sewing spring / summer because I am in Australia
I’m in!! I *almost* forgot in the busy rush of a new school year, but then I thought…”wait – something, something is missing in my life….?” :-) Looking forward to it already — God Bless Elsie Marley for this twice-a-year week of therapy.
I remembered seeing Max California in a past one of these and I was completely inspired but I visited too late in the game. I was JUST thinking that I hoped you’d do another one soon so perhaps I could participate.
Just enough time to maybe get some stuff ready for it and maybe plan out. OOH EXCITED.
i’m in! can’t wait!
I’m in–and it’s my first time! I’m feeling good and ready to bang out some clothes for my daughter next week :)
Yay! This is my first one, but I’m super excited!
i just ordered a bunch of knits for a few skinny tees–i bought them from girl charlee fabrics that you recommended in your KNITerview! talk about great selection. I am so excited to make some cute clothes for my daughter!
I’m in! I’ll be knittin’ like a mad woman!
I’m gearing up. Hopefully the fabric I ordered for my boy’s new pants arrives shortly!
