kids clothes week challenge: buttons, rules, and players
April 26th, 2010
the buttons:

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?

I’d really like to give this a go, I’ve been meaning to make some things for my boy for a while, so I’m taking the challenge if that’s OK?
I’m in!
Sounds so awesome! I’m in for sure!
Ok, I’m going to take a deep breath and put my name down. My kids badly need some clothes…
Oh, I really want to be part of this, as well!! :-) Perfect timing with several almost-done items on the shelf — which will be ‘outgrown’ if I don’t get going. Thanks for organizing this!!
i’m in too! thanks!
I would love to do this too – count me in.
Yes, I’ve got heaps of to do stuff that I never start. this will be great motivation.
I hope it’s not too late to join! I’d love to focus on improving my sewing skills by making some stuff for my kids next week. Thanks!
hoping this will give me the inspiration to both sew more, and post more… thanks!
this is great motivation to make more kids clothes for my son. please count me in!
That’s such a good idea….
I ‘ll do it…
Perfect – this is exactly what I am doing right now! Thank you!
Hello, I just want to let you know that I am in the 3rd day of the challenge. I really enjoy the experience as I decided to finish something that I normally won’t do as it’s too hard. ;) I am documenting my challenge journey daily to celebrate this experience. Thank you from Adelaide.
ooo count me in too!
I have a few sundresses that need to be finished so they can be enjoyed!!
[…] I want to make is ridiculously long and I know I won’t get everything done. There are over 200 of you participating! I don’t think lack of motivation should be a problem when 200 people are […]
I really would like to participate. I need to get busy on that stack of fabric I bought for my kids!
Yes, I’m in too. This is great motivation to giddy-up on my daughter’s spring 2010 dress!
I’m going to do it too. I’ll be sewing here in the uk. Lots of things to do! Just hoping my children get over the chicken pox!
Sign me up. I need a little challenge to shake things up around here.
Am I too late to join??
The weather’s getting warmer and my boys have exactly 2 pairs of shorts each. I need to get a move on!
am i too late?!
Count me in!!
making a debut here ….sewing for twins! Two of everything???
