kids clothes week fall 2012
September 18th, 2012
The temperature has dropped and fall is finally on it’s way! It must be time for another edition of 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 too!
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.
So what are you waiting for? Sign up! How do you sign up? Just leave a comment on this post telling me that you are in. Then go tell all your friends to sign up too! Spread the word on twitter, instagram, pinterest, tumblr with the #kcwc hashtag. Slap a button on your blog or on your facebook page. Link to this post and try to get all your facebook friends who sew to join too. I bet your mom would like to be invited. Last year I think there we had almost 700 people sign up. Can we make it to 800? 900? Now I’m starting to sound like a politician! Go knock on some doors for kcwc!

Let’s get to it!
I am in. My kids are in desperate need of clothes and I need sewing time!
Sounds like an awesome idea! I have so many kids clothes I want to get done at the moment :o)
Let’s do this.
Hoping I find time every day!
I’m in! I sew for a living yet never seem to make time to make things for myself or the kids (apart from fancy dress costumes as in “can I have a full cat in the hat outfit, now please”!
I’m in! But…from tomorrow? I’ll try to do this.
I’m in & have joined the flicker group, chosen my patterns & done most of my cutting – can’t wait!!!
I’ll be away for four of the seven days, but even in three hours I should be able to sew one of Rae’s Flash Back Skinny Tee’s. I’m in!
I’m in as well!
I’m in! How exciting:)
I’m in! Woot!
