big button for kids clothes week challenge

Spring has sprung and that means it’s time again for kcwc! Kids Clothes Week Challenge is a bi-annual event here on elsie marley where I challenge you to sew one hour a day, each day for 7 days.  The idea is that we all have the urge to sew clothes for our children, but we don’t always give ourselves the time to do it.  If you commit to sitting in front of your sewing machine, or tracing patterns, or cutting fabric, for one hour each day, then at the end of the week you will have some very well dressed kids. And a very proud mama (or papa) too!

If you would like to sponsor elsie marley during kcwc, I would love to have you! Kcwc has become wonderfully successful, so much so that traffic to this little blog doubles during kcwc month! Sponsor spots go up a bit in price ($40) but it’s totally worth it. Drop me a line if you’d like to get in on the action. elsiemarleyblog@gmail.com

Okay! leave a comment and sign up! spread the word! and sew like crazy!

  1. Hooray!!! I am so ready for this. I have a new serger & everything.

  2. thank you for this challenge! too often i sew for my business and the clothes i want to make for my own kids get pushed on the back burner. i’m ready to rock out some threads for these boys!

    I’m in! I had a mini KCWC the other week, and it turns out I really missed sewing! Hopefully I will be able to find the time during the challenge–I have a lot of knitting deadlines coming up. But I’m thinking that if I cut my fabric now-ish, I’ll be able to use the sewing time as a little break.
