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 hope it’s not too late to join in! We have a house full of kids. Well only 4, but it’s a REALLY tiny house :) I plan on whipping up a few outfits for my youngest 2 and maybe a thing or two for the older 2. Now that they are preteens, mom sewing their clothes isn’t always cool. I can’t wait to get started tonight!

This is the first I’m hearing of this, but I stumbled upon it because, well, I’m in the mood to sew. So… Unfortunately I don’t think I’ll actually sew anything today, because I need to dig through my fabric and see what in the world I have to work with here. Also, what to make. ::sigh:: Sounds F-U-N!

I am joining late but I really want to participate! I did start yesterday, even if it was unintentional!
I just found this via SouleMama. I’ll have to double up today, but it will give me the perfect excuse to make those pj’s I’ve been meaning to make!

I forgot to leave a comment before, but I am all in!
I’m jumping in late but this is just the motivation I need to work on (or at least start) the summer sewing project list I have for my son.
I can’t remember if I commented yesterday. I’m in!!
