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 pretty new to sewing and have been dying to get to work on some clothes for my 2-yr old…. with her birthday coming up in a few weeks this is the perfect kickstart to get to work on a party dress! Thanks!
That’s a mental week for me but going to try to do some in advance so count me in. Mrs B x
Count me in! Can’t wit. Just need to sit down and get organized so next week can be super productive! Brilliant idea!
I never manage to get as much done as I like, but if I could just finish the Redondo skirt I have already cut out and make a summer hat for my 8 year old, I would be so pleased.
I’m in! Thanks
Love it! I am in.
