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!

Excited to join in on my first KCWC!
I can’t remember if I’ve already commented here or not – but I’m joining in! Sewing Summer stuff since we’re in the Southern hemisphere. I’m planning on cutting out my patterns this weekend :)
I’m in!
I’m super excited! Picked my patterns out today and I am IN!!
I’m going to participate! I’ve started cutting out the patterns and fabric. I’m really excited to sew along for the first time.
Oh I am so in! LOVE KCWC!
I’m in! Hopefully with sleepy kids so I can get more than an hour a day!
So in. What a fantastic day. I have a pattern waiting to be done, so this is a great reason to hash it all out and get it done in the next week!
I’m in! I don’t know that I’ll get 1 hour every day with my littles… but I’m scheduling hubby’s help for the week so maybe I can! I’ve already got some works in progress that need finishing, and for the first time ever, I’m committed to sewing Halloween costumes for the WHOLE family! I need to make this time!
I’m in! Gathered all my fabric today, just need to get it washed and cut out this weekend. I love KCWC!!!
[…] excited for another Kids Clothes Week Challenge! It starts Monday, October 8 and runs the whole week. I’m hoping I’ll get some things […]
I will be participating again. A few fall items and some Halloween sewing is in the works.
[…] Quilt-along […]
I’m in. I can’t wait.
I am so in! Countless projects and UFOs and a sewing mojo that got up and went over the summer, I need to get back into it and this is the perfect thing to make me sew and find my enjoyment again!
Hi, I’m in for my first kcwc! Have already cut out the fabrics!
[…] […]
I’m in!
I’ll be sewing along too! What a big group!
I’m in!!!! I think I will be putting a post up on my blog tomorrow to share!! I just cleaned up my sewing room yesterday and this is a good start to get me sewing! :)
I’m excited to join, I have tons of things I’ve been meaning to sew for the kids and it’s just sitting in piles!
I’m in again. This time I try to get more done than in Spring.
Here to give it a go :)
Me too! It’s already inspired me to excavate my sewing table. That alone is a success!
At the risk of jinxing myself…I’m in. My kids just look way too cute in the clothes I make.
