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!

Hi! I love this idea!! I posted a link to you in my blog at http://loveaffairwithmybrother.blogspot.com/2011/05/kids-clothes-week-challenge.html.
We are also running a contest about this challenge and it is open to your readers as well!! Hope I can get a lot of clothes done this week! Thanks for the great idea!
I am totally in! I need some inspiration/motivation!!
I am in. I was noticing my girls needed summer clothes and this is just what a need to get me a push in the right direction. It will be a challenge with my husband still in school but I am up to that challenge. Time to get some clothes made.
I am in! I am so excited!
I’m in! I actually have time right now to sew what I want and I promised my three girls that I would make them an Oliver and S Ice cream dress.
I’m in. My girl needs some stuff to wear for summer!
Woohoo! Late to join, but I’m totally in!!
Totally forgot to sign up but posted it on my blog already. I need to make some dresses for my daughter since she is now basically refusing to wear pants and shorts.
I am going to give this a try this year. We’re in the ending phase of building a house, but I’d really like to join since my daughter is in need of skirts for church and my son is in need of summer shorts and I have another little girl due in August and we have no newborn girl clothes for her (we were told my oldest was a boy, which she wasn’t so all of her newborn clothes were boy-ish or gender neutral until her baby shower a month after she was born when everyone got her bigger clothing). :)
I’m in.
I’m in! I actually have the time to participate this year!

just the inpiration i needed!
Me, too! My children need some shorts for this summer and maybe a few other things, too. I have a pile of denim jumpers I got from out thrift store bag day ready to cut up. :) I might even try to do a swim suit!
I’m in!! I have plans to sew up a couple of cute little dresses and other outfits for our baby girl, due Sept 20, and I also need to do some stuff for our boys. Just the perfect motivation! :) Looking forward to seeing what everyone else comes up with!!
I’m jumping in with both feet! Need to make a supply list and maybe a quick run to the store tonight!
I have been doubting until this very day whether I actualy do have the time this week, but I’ll give it a try.
I’m looking forward to it. I’ve got about 1 year’s worth of ideas though…
I’m in!
[…] like I said, I’d like to hang out here a bit more so I’m jumping back in with the Kids Clothing Week Challenge that is going on this week. And for a little inspiration the photo above is of Katrina’s […]
I am so in!! This is going to be awesome!
