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?

Just the motivation I need to wrap up some Summer sewing!
Oh this looks like so much fun! Am I too late? I think I’ll play along even if I am. Love your blog :)
I’d like to join. I just found out about this on freckled hen’s blog.
I’m in too! Made a start last night with a skirt and top all cut out ready to sew this afternoon
i do this daily anyway! between sewing for my site and sewing for my two grandbabies (4 & 1 yr) my sewing machine lights are rarely off.
I’m SOOO in!! :)
I am joining! Late is better than never!

[…] out . That’s why we do practice pants first, right? What’s your plan for Day 2 of Kids Clothes Week? var a2a_config = a2a_config || {}; a2a_config.linkname="Day 1 – Bandana Pants"; […]
have had a mixed start to my week, but it’s great for beating procrastination!
I know I’m late but can I join too please? Have done an hour yesterday & today already. Putting together a dress which I cut out for my daughter weeks ago!
Hope I am not too late! Count me in.
Yes! I’m working on quite a few things and can’t wait to share!
[…] late to officially get on the list….but it’s not to late to participate! Read more here and see pictures here. Great way to bust that stash…and your kids will get clothes. Win, […]
Oh I am so in! Mostly because I absolutely love the buttons! No, really, I’ve been in the mood for kids clothes these days and I have lots of plans.
I’d love to participate. Although my daughter is 10. maybe less cute than toddlers, but she badly needs some summer clothes that i couldn’t start this winter because my sewing stuff was packed waiting for my new studio to be ready.
So please if the age doesn’t matter, count me in !
I am a day late, but count me in. I have challenged myself to refashion my daughter’s entire summer wardrobe. This will keep me on track.
I’m a day late just found this but count me in this is just the motivation I need to start my daughter’s summer wardrobe!
I’ve just found out about your challenge (and discovered your lovely blog!) and am going to try this, since my baby girl is quickly outgrowing everything before the warm weather has even arrived. I love your “no rules” rules too – it much more fun and less stressful this way (especially with 3 kids at home!)
I’m in! Better late than never!
A day late and a dollar short but please count me in.
I’m so in!
I’m making cloths in a row this week :)
I’m also gonna check the rest of the blog!
[…] Uncategorized — Deven @ 10:02 pm So, I took the Kids’ Clothes Week Challenge over at Elsie Marley. The main rule is to work on children’s clothes for one hour a day. That’s it! Even I […]
I would love to do this too! I’m late, but I’ve been sewing plenty this week already.
I’m doing it! So far, two skirts, two dresses, a nightdress and a headscarf. (It was a crazy day, the scarf was all I could muster up!)
