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 already had the goal of making nearly every item of clothing for my kids this summer so this will help make that happen!
I’m in too!
I have four children and five boxes of fabric waiting to be used, so I am going to jump in!
*raising hands in the air*
Yes! Yes! I’m in!!!
Okay, okay. I need to get off the computer in the evening. My kids sure don’t need any clothes though. Maybe this will be my “finish my neice’s quilt that is over due by a year” week. :) I’m definitely joining the challenge though!
ooh, yay! I’m in! I missed the last ones and I have some great vintage sheets to use this time.
I’m in!!
I am SO in! I have never done one of these before but this is pretty much my life as it is! hahaha I have no time to do it with little ones under toe, so I take your challenge, girl! ;D
I’m in!

I’m in! I love making kids clothes!
I’m in. I have a handful of projects to finish and even more to start.
I’m in, I only make children’s clothes and love making dresses. I gave up sewing for myself years ago. Adults are much harder to fir and after alot of work you might not like it on. That has never happened with my children’s designs. I use patterns as guides but always make it my own. Can’t wait will be plotting and planning until than.
Perfect timing! Just finishing of my tops for the spring top sewalong and the time to sew up some clothes for the kiddies. My girls are in need of summer clothing. And I have not tried my hand at baby clothes for my son yet. Should be fun
I’m in, I have three children who really need some summerclothing!
I’m in! I’ve got two boys and a girl who are in desperate need of new clothing!
I am in! I have a bunch of cute fabric for my daughter and my son has requested a tractor shirt, looking forward to getting started!
I’m in and can’t wait!
