kids clothes week spring 2012

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!

  14. Elisana says:

    I’m in for the challenge!!

  15. Peep says:

    I’d love to join in, as long as having my projects pre-cut counts. I am slow in a lot of things, and cutting it one of them. I’m a beginner sewer so I think that’s why it seems to take me forever. So I spend about a day cutting things and then sew them when I am motivated. I think I’ll get faster as I get more projects done

  16. Stephanie says:
