kids clothes week spring 2012
March 21st, 2012
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!
All you need to do to sign up is leave a comment on this post. If you would like to know more about kcwc you can check out the kcwc faq page. You can also head to the elsie marley flickr group to check out creations from kcwc past or see all my posts on kcwc here.
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!

[…] I’m hoping I can make some next week during KCWC. […]
This is so cool!! I love more excuses to make my critters more clothes! Count me in!!
I’m a first timer signing up! Looking forward to this and hoping I can at least get one item sewn (just received “sewing for boys” in the mail);)
Yep, going to commit to this! Can’t wait!
[…] KCWC gets started next Monday already! Do you have a plan? a list? a giant pile of fabrics on your ironing board? Before we are all up to our eyeballs in half finished garments next week, I thought I'd show off some beautifully finished pieces this week. Five very talented sewers (and bloggers) have agreed to do have a little pre-kcwc sewing party. I gave them all the same pattern–the Flashback Skinny Tee by Rae (thanks Rae!)–and I'm excited to see what everyone comes up with. […]
Since I have a bunch of kids projects I’d like to sew this should be a great added incentive – thanks!
Definitely up for it!
I’m going to try my best. Research papers, class presentations and two little ones make it difficult sometimes, but I am going to try and make it a priority!
I’m in! I have a ton of patterns I haven’t gotten around to using yet!
I have a few projects ready to go and lots of time to sew next week. Sounds like fun!
I will give it a go! I have a 2m old little girl so nap time s
Sewing it is :)
I just bought a bunch of fabric for my daughter. This is a great motivation to start using them!
We are moving house and I need to sew up lots of fabric….I’m in!

I’m so in! I grabbed a button and I’m so excited to be joining this year!!
I’m in! Excited to blog about it too!
I’m in! I’m going to work on bathrobes using Dana’s pattern from MADE.
I’m in. Better get planning!
I’m in! I’m sewing dress-up clothes for my kids this time- they’ve been asking for some and this is perfect timing for making them! Cowboy and cowgirl outfits, here we come!
Whoops, I had forgotten to sign up, but I’m in, again (4th time, maybe?). can’t wait! I even finally ordered some Ottobre Kids magazines so I can try out their patterns!
Can’t wait for an excuse for more sewing ;)
I’m gonna do it. Sign me up!
Can’t wait to get sewing! I just inherited a bunch of fabric that I can’t wait to sort out!!!
