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 am SO in. I can’t wait!
Yay! I’ve wondering/hoping it would be soon. I’ve got a pile of fabric that didn’t get used for her clothes over summer that has been mocking me. In definitely in (I’ll be making winter clothes though!)
I’m in! I’m very excited for the inspiration!
I was so looking fwd to this one. Now that I’m finding some time to sew. I so wanted to participate in this sew-along.
I’m in! I loved KCWC last spring, and this year I have a whole other kid to make clothes for too.
I’m in too. I have had sew dry season, maybe this would help!
I’ve been wondering whether you’d do it again this year. Thank you. Of course I am in. My kids need clothes for this spring/ summer.
Sounds like a great idea. I’m excited to join in :)
totally in. already have patterns/tutes/ideas marked!
a big yes from me!
I am in! I’ve been looking forward to it since the last one ended!

I’m going for it! I figure if I sign up here I’ll be forced to actually follow through…
=)
I’m in Yay!
I’m going to do it this time!
I love the advanced notice! I will be brainstorming from now until then. I can’t wait!
I’m in, my kids have no clothes and I don’t like the clothes in the shops our how much they cost. This will be my first time, hope to accomplish alot =-)
I’ve been putting together sewing projects all day! Obviously I am prepping for KCWC! Count me in.
I would be soooo in but I am going to be at disneyworld at the start of that week and in DC by the end of it on holidays with my little family…but I’m going to take on the challenge anyway and get stuck in next week…my kids are on school holidays so perfect timing!!
May is Me Me Me month on my blog, but I’m sure I can sneak some sewing for the kids in too. I’ve had so much fun at the last too. Time to sort through my stash, the kids’ clothes and make a plan.
I’m so in. Looking forward to skirts and dresses that fit my girls! Thanks for hosting again. :)
Yay! I’m in too!
Ok, I’ve watched this from a far for long enough – I’m in! But I’ll be sewing winter clothes for my girls here in Australia! xx
i’m in! it’s my favourite sewing week ever.
Oh yes I am so in!! My children, embarrassingly, have hardly no winter clothes! Not good for Crafty Mamas kids!
