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.

I’m in! Thanks so much for the fabulous ideas/ tutorials/ patterns in your Pinterest gallery! I can’t wait to see what everybody makes :)
I’m totally in. I would love to have new duds for my littlest guy and need some motivation. I also have an 11 year old who does not think handmade clothes are cool…but I’m going to challenge myself to overcome this!
[…] anyone else feels inspired and would like to join, you can do so here, there are more FAQs about it all here […]
Oh no, I am travelling this week. when is the next one? I have always wanted to join and somehow it didn’t work out last time as well….
I’m in! Looking forward to cranking out some fun spring/summer clothes for my kids (especially my son) and can’t wait to be inspired by what everyone else is creating!
I’m in! I love assignments, parameters and deadlines!!!!!

O.k. I’m diving back in. Even though my schedule is jam-packed, I at least have to give it a try, right?!?
I’d love to try! I need some really basic patterns. I seem to do almost better with step by step directions.
I am in!
Wow. I’m taking a deep breath … And going for it. So many challenges to overcome (holy no time! been knitting for months; sewing might be quite rusty! boy doesn’t like my clothes!), but oh yes, I’m diving in! This will be my first real time sewing for my little baby girl. Cannot wait!
Count me in!
Count me in! I have been meaning to start a creative/crafty blog of my own and am using this to jump start my own blog!

you just inspired me to finish some projects and start some new ones for my little girls. thanks!!
I recently discovered your blog and really enjoy it… The reason I was first attracted to your blog (on top25 circle of moms), is that my daughters name is Elsie! Anyways, you can count on me to participate… I’m posting your button right away. Thank you very much for such a great idea!
I am in! I have a couple of sweater remakes planned and some Heidi & Finn patterns at the ready.

Looking forward to participating, assuming my nearly due baby doesn’t decide to make her debut in the middle of the week!
I’m in. This is a great incentive to get the beautiful fabrics I brought for the kids last year made up. Thank you xx
I’m totally in. Just the kick in the pants I need to get something done.
I’m in!! Got a stack of fabric already ready to be made into skirts!!
[…] Kids Clothes week starts Monday. I am trying to to prep so that I am ready to SEW for one hour per night on kids clothes. Now, I am certain that it is ok if I cut fabric or trace patterns- and I am sure that there will be some of that- but I would really like to make some progress through all of this fabric that I have on hand! So here is what I have and what I plan on doing with it. […]
