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 definitely in! I used to sew a lot for my kids, now I need to make time sewing for my grand daughters!
I’m in!!
a bit late, but i’m in.
Count me in! Kids clothes have quickly become my most favorite thing to sew, even without any kids of my own yet…good thing there are plenty of other little ones in my life!
Kiddo needs some new clothes, so I’m going to give it my best!
I am doin’ it!
I’m in! Hopefully this will give me a kick in the pants to dust off my books of patterns and start making something for my daughter!
I’m in! Now, what will I sew . . .

Mmmm, OK. I said it! I’m in too. A bit nervous about it, but I’ll give it a go. I’m such a procrastinator about kids clothes, this will be good for me and fun too I hope! :)
I’m in. I’ll be sewing for my 4 year old daughter as my first blog posts at http://chickadeejess.blogspot.com/.
Count me in too! My kids will be wrapt – I’m always making clothes for everyone else!
[…] I normally don’t sew clothes. They intimidate me. Well, more specifically, making clothes that fit me intimidates me. Making clothes for kids, though? That’s a whole different story. I don’t have to worry about altering the pattern to account for my abnormal (according to pattern-makers) waist-to-hip ratio or figuring out how to do a full bust adjustment. […]
I’m in!
