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!

I would love to join in, first time and very excited!
Count me in!
I’m in! Hopefully I will do alot better than last time. Sewing for two kids Spring/ Summer clothes as it is heating up down under. Lots of fun!
I’m in! During the spring week, a pattern flaw stymied me. I am ready to finish that board shirt!

I’m in.
It’s my first time and I’m really looking forward to it.
[…] Our house is (well was) a duplex and we were living in the ground floor apartment. Preso! Change-o! We now have a two story house with twice as much space! It is crazy and exciting and totally overwhelming. Be prepared for many before and after posts (as soon as I stop sewing for kcwc). […]
I’m in!
Count me in ! I’ll try to sew a sweater for my oldest son, plus a few long-sleeved T-shirts, and a Charlie tunic for my youngest, if I can decide on a fabric :)
Hurray! I have been itching for this and saving a couple of projects. I have a figgy’s pattern, and requests for pants! Hurray!
I’m in again. The boys need some purple corduroys for fall/winter and some other equally fun stuff, I hope.
[…] always wanted to do Elsie Marley’s Kids Clothes Week Challenge. Somehow I have never managed to make it happen. I think it is a great idea and I love to make […]
I’d only just bought my sewing machine this time last year, and was too daunted to join but loved seeing what everyone had made. I’m a bit handier now, so would love to dive in and see what I can come up with! Thanks for hosting!

Count me in!!
These always fall on the weeks of my birthday, and my husband’s birthday, but I’m going to try this time! I have a pattern to cut out and some partially finished projects, so I should be good to go.
Woohoo! I’m in! Can’t wait to tackle my to do list!
oh, yes please!
I’m in (again) seriously LOVE this challenge!
I’m in! Pants, skirt, maybe a shirt.
This will be my first time! I am excited.
