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.

Such a great idea AND a great way to motivate me. I have been procrastinating :) I grabbed your button and posted on my blog! I’m all set and ready to go! Can’t wait
I am in! Although I have made most of my kids’ clothes already, but hey there is no such thing as too many dresses, right?
so excited!!! just bought a sewing machine and would love to do this!!!!
I’m in! Looking forward to it. As I’m in the southern hemisphere my kids clothes will be the opposite season though!
This is going to be great motivation for me =D
That is, of course, the busiest week of spring for me. However, I loved being a part of this last fall so I’m going to give it a go. Thanks for hosting!!
woooohooooooo!
um, ahem, I mean, I guess I’ll participate. I haven’t been waiting impatiently for this all year, no, not at all.
Count me in again! We are coming into autumn here so it is warm things I will be making.
I’m in! Very exited and with a lot of ideas for spring time!
I’d love to play again, it’s getting cold here and the small people need some new clothes
I’m in! I’ve been watching the last few times but haven’t ever thrown my hat in the ring. But this time I actually NEED to sew for my own kiddos! YAY!
I’m in – this is about the one week a year that I am actually productive. Plus my kids won’t stop growing and it’s becoming apparent that they might have to spend their summer holidays either wearing their school uniform or in their underwear if I don’t sort them out with some casual clothes soon…
I will definately be joining in, I had a request from my 4 yr old the other day to start making her some new sumer dresses (it is hard to get her to wear anything else!)
I would love to join you………See you on my birthday (May 9th)….Must be ment to be….
I’m looking forward to it. I enjoyed the motivation in the fall to make the boys clothes – just beginning is always the hardest part. Thanks for organizing.
[…] another carrot – just chanced upon elsie marley’s kids clothes week spring 2011. I’ll use this to get me into the sewing and blogging flow again and to put to good use the […]
count me in. this is JUST what i need.
daughter just started sleeping properly so delighted to have opportunity to use the time productively and get my sewing mojo working again!
yah! super excited to join in!
Love the idea! Count me in :)
I was just browsing organic fabrics for my kids the other day and was awing away how many options you have this year for colors and material combis.. And I decided this year the self-made part of their clothes will be huge!!
Kind regards, Nina
I’m in! 3 grandkids, with another granddaughter that should be born by the first of May…plus another one on the way in June…many to sew for!
I’m in! Both of my kids definitely need some warm weather clothes…and this will give me the perfect excuse to buy some new patterns I’ve been eyeing!
Yay! This will be my first ever watching or joining I am very excited!
I’m in – this was such an inspiration last year, not sure I can wait until May though!
I’m in! May is a super busy month for me, but I’m determined to make this work! I participated in the last KCWC and I’m hoping to do more this time around… thanks for hosting and motivating!!!!
I’m putting it on my calendar!
