kids clothes week spring 2011
April 14th, 2011
Spring is here and my kids have no clothes to wear. Well not really, but definitely not enough cute, springtime ones. KCWC to the rescue! If you have no idea what I’m talking about, that is completely understandable. KCWC stands for Kids Clothes Week Challenge. It’s one week (I’m sure you figured that out) where we commit to sew one hour a day for 7 days. Sewing clothes, of course, for our kids! Or other people’s kids, but not your inner child and absolutely not your canine child.
Sound good? Want to make a big pile of little skirts and dresses and shorts and bow ties? Because a lot can happen in a week if you put in a little time each day. And with hundreds of people sewing along with you and cheering you on, well, you can’t help but make great stuff! So leave a comment on this post to tell me you are in! Then grab a button and post it on your blog (if you’ve got one) to spread the word. You can even head over to the elsiemarley flickr group to check out past KCWC and join so you can post for this one.
If you’d like to know a little more about KCWC, hop on over to the FAQ page. Then hop back here and sign up!

I’m in! My daughter has definitely grown out of her clothes from the last challenge.
Hooray for Kids Clothes Week!
I’m in! I could use the motivation!!
Totally in, although I’m already starting! My boys’ wardrobes are sparse for the warm weather.
I’m in!
I was late last year, so this year I’m definitely in! It will be fun ^_^
I’m in I’m in!!! I was just noticing that my kcwc fall ’10 stuff was getting too small :( how does that happen so fast? Is it cheating if I make it now and post then? Because May is within a month of me moving to the literal other side of the world and I’m thinking I may be a smidge busy…but if it’s cheating, I don’t care – I’ll forget packing for a week and sew instead!!
Hahahaha. At first I thought “Oh no! That’s the week my parents will be here.” *pause* “Oh wait, my parents will be here, I’ll actually have TIME to sew!”
Epic win. :D
I’m in! My kids are very much in need of a summer wardrobe, thanks for running this again! It will be my first KCWC.
I`m in! This will be my first KCWC so I am really excited!
i love your KCWC… i get so inspired looking at everyone different creations!!!
This time around I will not be so ambitious the new strategy is….Start small..Sew Smart…Dream big!! That should be a T-shirt! and the other T-shirt should say Measure twice cut once…..no repeats! I am so excited! I always love all the ideas I get from this. I am all in!!!!
YES! I’ve been waiting for this post. I’m so in.
I’m in! This will be a great excuse to tie myself to my sewing machine…not that I really need one.
Ooh yes, I’m in too. I joined in last year and it was great fun!
Just found your lovely blog :)
Definitely want to take part in this challenge – going to have a hunt for some toddlerboy projects!!

I am so in! Let’s hope I can finish at least one thing in 7 hours!
We’ll see how I do at joining in the party this time. Last time I was a big, fat failure.
Wahoo!
I’m in!! Again!
My kids need messenger bags for the summer. I am NOT carrying everything this year! Moms, take back your purses and tote bags!
Mee too, I’m in. Just need to organise the projects I will make…
I can’t resist. I made two outfits last time. I’m pretty sure this time I can knock it out of the park. Summer dresses for all! Well, except the boy.
I just bought all the things I need to start on the summer wardrobes. I even got brave and ordered swimsuit fabric. Yikes! So my goal is to get organized beforehand. A list of things to be made for each kid, sewing area cleaned, and all patterns traced and cut. That’s a weeks worth of work in itself!
I am in. I do not have a blog but I will definitly post to the flickr group. I can’t wait to start on my little’s summer wardrobes! Thanks for the kick in the butt.
Count me in again :)
Yay! I’m so excited because my little guy has zero warm weather clothes. Although, I may have to start early, because it’s already getting pretty warm here.
