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?

Call me a dummy, but I can’t get the buttons to work. Is it just me?
This will help me actually start and finish a set of summer dresses for my 5 year old. Thanks!
count me in!
I’d like to do this, perfect timing as I was just thinking I needed to do some sewing for my little girl!
Perfect timing for me too! I just found out I’m having a baby girl in August. Now I can finally make some of those cute girl clothes after the limited choice for boys tuts.
I would love to do this, too. I have a pile of to-do projects for my kids, and my sisters’ kids, and my sister-in-laws unborn kid, and….
Yes, please!
Would love to join in with this too. Yay! I always intend to work on sewing more clothes but never seem to make it up to the sewing room. I’m hoping this gets some momentum going for me before new baby arrives and all hope for sewing time is lost for a while ;-)
I have approximately 40 things on the go so I definitely need this! I only hope I dont forget! Great idea, :)
I’d love to play along, please!
I’m in! Already making my lists!
[…] pretty excited about the Kids Clothes Week Challenge going on over at elsie marley. I’ve already made a wish list for each of the kids, and […]
Thanks for the inspiration! Count me in, I’ve got piles of projects waiting for my little guy for summer!
Can newbies play, too? I have a sewing machine that I really want to learn to use well. I’ve made a simple pillow-case style top for my youngest (last summer) and then haven’t tried again. Perhaps this could be my inspiration? An hour a day to make a habit?
Thanks for the challenge! Count me in and can’t wait to get started!
I’d like to play, too. Thanks for this great idea!
Ok. I’m kind of nervous about this but I really need to finish some projects. Second week in May – here we come!
I would also love to participate…hopefully it’s not too late to be added to the list! I have a few things cut out for my girls, but not yet sewed. This would be perfect to get those things completed.
count me in :)
Sounds fun! I’ll try.
I would love to participate, I have lots of things I would love to make for my kids…I hope up-cycling counts too?
I am more than a little nervous I will keep up but, I hope with a clear plan of action, I might not lag too much!
Michele
I’d love to try this, summer wardrobe for the boy could do with some attention! Thanks
[…] am entering a challenge. The kids clothes week challenge taking place at Elsie Marley the second week of May. I really have to get my act together though […]
Yes! I’m in! I need a little nudge to finish up a summer outfit project from TWO YEARS ago! Guess my older daughter won’t be wearing it – but my younger one will love it.
HI, I think it’s great idea to sew a little bit every day. I am not sure if I can squeeze one hour each day. However, I do have a project sitting waiting for me to start. So, please count me in and I hope I do finish something at the end of this challenge. Thanks. Connie
I have a few project on hold,so count me in,please!
