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!

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 am definitely in! I was just looking up the posts from last spring to see when it might be! I have been into refashioning lately, and I plan to make some kids clothes from some adult clothes my husband and I are tired of. Of course, I will also sew some things from scratch, too. I can’t wait!

    I am always thrilled about this! I get so many great Ideas! One of these times I will actually work each and every day. Usually I pull 2 or 3 late late late nights. This is so fun!

    Sign me up! I work a 50 hour week and commute 2 hours a day on top of that, so I need the motivation sometimes to get my craft/sew on versus just slumping on the couch in front of the TV after the babe is in bed. I think this will keep me accountable and hopefully I will have some cute outfits for the boy finished at the end! This will be my first KCWC! Oh, I am in Australia, so for me, this will be an Autumn/Winter edition :)
