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!

I’ve got a lot of other sewing project coming up so I will likely be sewing an hour a day during that week (if the internet does not manage to suck me in). Though, I don’t know if I will be able to make kids’ clothes the priority. We’ll see what happens between now and then.
Am soooo excited. Loved doing this last year, AND my beautiful new baby girl is here to make some pretty things for!!!!! xxx
What a brilliant idea. Count me in!
:)
I’ve been eagerly awaiting kids clothes week, have some great summer clothes ideas for my son!
Yay!!! I am so excited. I’ve been wanting to do this challenge for years but always had something else going on. Now i can finally do it. And it’s my first time! Cannot wait!

OK – I’m in! I bought the pattern & fabric ages ago, all with good intentions – this may well make me get on & make them!! Sandbox pants here we go!!
I am going to attempt this this time around. Hopefully I don’t work to much that week. I have been looking forward to this now that I have a little one.
I was hoping this would happen soon! I’m in. :)

Sounds great – can’t wait!
