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! We’ll be coming into Summer soon and my boy is in desperate need of some shorts.
I have never done anything like this before, and I am keen to give it a go :) Count me in :) I won’t be making warm clothes though as I live in Australia and am looking forward to some warmer weather :)
Yay! Time to get my sew on! Let’s stitch this!
Yipee – and I was just clearing out my wee one’s closet yesterday so I have a wee list going of what we need.
Hi, count me in too. I’ve been meaning to do it a couple of times before. I’m also in Australia so will be doing warmer clothes.
i have a new pattern and some fabric on the way so i’m in :-) great idea!

I’m in! I need all the help(momentum) I can get to make my way through Halloween costumes. The little man’s has 23 pieces. 23!!?? What was I thinking :) It’s those big brown eyes of his for sure… I cave every time! Let there be great bits of midnight sewing!
I’ll give it a try!!! I was just telling my husband yesterday that the kids really need clothes, so: good excuse!
I’m in!
Yay! I’m in please. My wee babes couls sure do with some new threads. Thanks so much :)
This sounds fun! Count me in. I’m a first timer and think this will be fun.
I, too, have Halloween costumes calling my name. I’m determined to put some good work into them during KCWC.
I’m in! :)
I will definitely be trying to participate! My sewing machine needs some things but either way I still can cut and plan and hand sew smaller things :)

I’m in! I’m so excited, and I have grand plans! Can’t wait!
i’m in! my kiddos need some new pj pants, and maybe i’ll get all fancy and make some real clothes too!
i’m in! i hope i can make good on my expectations, but luckily my boy isn’t in dire need of clothing, just could use a few more cute-handmade pieces. we’ll see how many i can manage to produce in a week. thanks for the inspiration!
I’m in! I’m in! I blogged about it and some of my ideas for what I’m gonna do here! so excited!

I have to get startet, again… ;o)
I’m in.
Count me in. It will be summer sewing for me though as I’m in Australia.
I’m in again!
I have seen peoples past kcwc and have wanted to be a part of it. But now I am scared. Can I really give an hour a day for a week? And then I think again. Silly me, I give at least an hour a day to internet just surfing around time, I could trade that up for this any day. So count me in and I’ll do my best. I think I want to go figure out what I should do already.
