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……can’t wait. just need to decide what I will make for my daughter!
I’m going to give it a shot! Its spring here in Australia and I can’t wait to get some lightweight clothes ticked off the mental list!
Im in!! 3rd time and even more excited!
rats. so not a good week for me. i’ll catch you in the spring.
First time for me – I will do my best! A pile of half-finished items and fabrics-without-a-project on my sewing table are urging me to join up.
Count me in! Do Halloween costumes count?
First timer– I’m In!

Great idea! I can’t wait.
My sewing machine is broken, so I’m afraid it’s a no-go for me this fall. :(
I’m totally in!!! I’m very excited. :) Is it too soon to start planning what I will make? :)
I’m in!
Oh yes, I’m in! I didn’t get much done last time around, but I did work at least an hour a day, which I plan to do again! Looking forward to it!
I’m in! Southern hemisphere here, so spring clothes for the boy :D
Count me in again this year….sewing for the grandkids!
I’m in! I have been deep in to selfish sewing while projects for baby girl gather dust. I cut stuff out but didn’t sew it yet and I have a lovely coat only halfway finished. She’s going to be cold if we don’t get that sorted out pronto!
Great idea! I’m in!
I’m in!
I’m counting myself in, although in the past I have found I do better with the Spring challenge. I’m giving Fall another shot!
I’m so in! Yay!
I’m in and I can’t waaait!
I’m in!
I’m in. First time. I have been saying all weekend that I want to sew. Glad to have a reason to make it a priority for a week.
