kids clothes week spring 2012
March 21st, 2012
Spring has sprung and that means it’s time again for 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 (or papa) too!
All you need to do to sign up is leave a comment on this post. 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.
If you would like to sponsor elsie marley during kcwc, I would love to have you! Kcwc has become wonderfully successful, so much so that traffic to this little blog doubles during kcwc month! Sponsor spots go up a bit in price ($40) but it’s totally worth it. Drop me a line if you’d like to get in on the action. elsiemarleyblog@gmail.com
Okay! leave a comment and sign up! spread the word! and sew like crazy!

[…] KCWC Day 2 was a quick and easy one. These little sundresses come together in about 30 minutes. I had made this one for Elise while I was pregnant, and she’s now starting to outgrow it. I thought these two prints would do her well for the Spring and Summer, and give her a little room to grow. The top print is by Kaffe Fassett, and this one is an Alexander Henry print. […]
I have not been able to spend an hour a day, but I do have several different projects started this week. I hope I can finish at least one. Thanks

Hi,
I have found this site and found it amazing! I have a 3 years old kid, and I have started to create clothes for him and myself. I’m new sewing, but I can share same clothes that I’ve already done!
Great contest!
Late at joining hopefully I can make some more stuff to show in the last couple of days.
