kids clothes week challenge: buttons, rules, and players
April 26th, 2010
the buttons:
Feel free to copy and paste these on your blog (click on the picture and it will take you to the link to use).
the rules:
Okay, there are no rules, but it sounds less wishy washy than guidelines or suggestions. Really there is only one thing you have to do if you want to participate in kids clothes week: sew. Sew one hour each day the second week of May. You should probably be sewing clothes for your kids, since it’s kids clothes week, but I think accessories are close enough. You don’t have to start a new project or buy new material, you could just finish those pants that have been waiting for cuffs or the sundress you started last summer that still needs buttons. The point is just to work a little each day and see what you have to show for it at the end of the week. There aren’t any prizes, but you can post photos of your finished work in the elsie marley flickr group and we will all oooo and ahhhh over them. And that’s better than a cheap trophy, right?

Thanks for the great idea! I have lots of projects in the pipeline.
Count me in! I so need this.
this is good motivation to actually get to those things i’ve been meaning to!
[…] out of it well into my winter layers. I’m also joining in on another sewing week fun from Elsie Marley. I already traced some patterns for a dress and a top for Abigail and I plan to finish two overalls […]
Can I still join? I really need the kick in the rear….
fun, I can’t wait. great excuse to actually sew them something.
I’m in as well, I’ve been meaning to get started on a few projects for awhile now, the support from this group effort is just what I need to get over my fears of imperfection and just start sewing …
I’m getting rather excited about this – need to get prepared with the fabrics and patterns so I’m ready to go. Plus extended consultation with my daughter on what she wants. A new Oliver + S pattern arrived in the mail today so that must definitely make an appearance!
Can we sew more than an hour?
looking forward to it. have been trying to plan some things in my head already. thanks for the button!!
thanks! I’d love to participate–I thought I had posted so earlier but it looks like the comment didn’t make it through; hope it’s not too late!
Count me in! this is just the motivation I need! I can’t wait!
May I join, too? This is a wonderful idea! Thank you for the tutorial links, as well.
Well, I have the fabric and the idea for a top for my daughter. My commitment-shy nature has me shying away from actually putting my name down, though. I know that my family like to conspire against me having any sewing time, so I don’t know if I’ll get any until it actually arrives…
I’m on board as well!
Oh, the fact that someone is watching will get me going. Count me in.
count me in!
i’m sewing shorts tonight. did a bonnet last weeek. will probably do the new oliver + s. ice cream dress this weekend! :-)
I am in and need some inspiration!
I’m in!
Count me in! I’ll be sewing a dress this week, which I’m sure will inspire me to keep on going. I have a long list of things to make – many promises to fulfill!!
Yes! I have inspired for things for the house……I need to keep it up. Kids clothes are just the ticket.
Hi, I’ve just found your challenge via Erin’s House on Hill Road blog. Can I join in too please? I’d love to play along.
count me in. i’ve been in need of some motivation.
Okay, I’ll play. Just telling you I will play will guilt me into it, I hope!
ooh. i need to do this. summer pjs need to be DONE already! of course, i’m sort of a contrarian so i hope i didn’t jinx myself. 2nd week of may. got it.
Sounds fabulous, count me in please! It is just what I need to get motivated again.
