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! This will be my first time participating in KCWC and I’m really looking forward to it!
So here I am, day one! I’m in, off to the sewing room now, my challenge within this challenge is to sew using only fabric from my stash! Wish me luck.
This is my first attempt at kcwc! Can’t wait to get sewing!

I’m in…I guess this means I have to get all my sewing stuff off the craft room floor and onto/into the new desk.
Day 1 – Making it more complicated by trying to only use what I have in my stash – I may have to bend for a few odds and ends… I already know I need ricrac for the Made by Rae Dragon Slippers but I have 2 pairs all cut out ready to sew and a couple of the vests from http://www.leilaandben.com ready too.
This is just the motivation I needed! My daughter will have that cute sweater I’ve been planning for weeks. Thanks, And yay I’m excited to sew
i am in…just at the last minute!! my daughter is growing out of everything in her wardrobe right now so it is the perfect time. exciting :) i am going to use my carefree clothes for girls book for the first time xx
