kids clothes week spring 2011
April 14th, 2011
Spring is here and my kids have no clothes to wear. Well not really, but definitely not enough cute, springtime ones. KCWC to the rescue! If you have no idea what I’m talking about, that is completely understandable. KCWC stands for Kids Clothes Week Challenge. It’s one week (I’m sure you figured that out) where we commit to sew one hour a day for 7 days. Sewing clothes, of course, for our kids! Or other people’s kids, but not your inner child and absolutely not your canine child.
Sound good? Want to make a big pile of little skirts and dresses and shorts and bow ties? Because a lot can happen in a week if you put in a little time each day. And with hundreds of people sewing along with you and cheering you on, well, you can’t help but make great stuff! So leave a comment on this post to tell me you are in! Then grab a button and post it on your blog (if you’ve got one) to spread the word. You can even head over to the elsiemarley flickr group to check out past KCWC and join so you can post for this one.
If you’d like to know a little more about KCWC, hop on over to the FAQ page. Then hop back here and sign up!

with best intentions i am going to try!
Yes, I think I’ll try!
I’m in! Looking forward to it – loved it last spring!! Love the company too!
[…] I've got some fantastic interviews scheduled, a round up or two and of course the always amazing Kids Clothes Week Challenge. There are already over 100 people signed up! KCWC has been such a big hit in the past that […]
I am in! I am hoping to have some time to sew that week, and this will help motivate me!
I keep getting the 404 Error Page Not Found when I copy and paste the codes.
Will I ever figure out how to put buttons on my blog???
Hi I noticed you are having issues adding the button! I did as well at first! But to add them you have to click add gadget, click HTML/JAVA, paste the link, and then save. It should work. If not make sure you have saved the WHOLE link. If its still not working try typing in the link yourself, sometimes saving it messes something up and it doesn’t work! Hope that helps!
Friendly Blogging Buddy,

I’m in again this Spring. Thanks for helping me get motivated to sew some clothes for my boys.
I’m absolutely in! I just bought lots of cute, summery prints to make things for my nearly 2 year old daughter and the baby girl on the way (due in July). I never had a sister so I look forward to making cute little matching things for my girls!
I’m in- I’ll have a 2 week old, but I’ll do my very best to hit an hour each day :)
I’m in! Marking my calendar right now and planning my projects.
I want to give it a try – such a great goal!!

I did the fall week and loved it so much! I’m definitely in!
I can’t wait! I have been looking forward to this for a while, glad it’s almost here!
That sounds so exciting! Yay! I’m definitely looking forward to doing my best!
Oh man, I’m in this year. I’ve got to do this.
I’m in (again). Can’t wait.
Count me in!
the hot san antonio summer is on its way and my four little ones need some clothes–at least it won’t require much fabric, right? ;) i’m looking forward to it (especially the awesome round ups)!
