Crochet LUCA (Sea Monster) Onesie

 

This was the first character I wanted to make into a onesie. This character is Luca in his sea monster form from the upcoming PIXAR movie LUCA. I think he's adorable so I had to make something of him!

To do this onesie you'll have to go back to the crochet sweater pattern to understand how I accomplished the top and sleeves. And as another construction note, the back opening will be quite large so you'll have to sew up some of the bottom starting from the legs to aesthetic and wearing purposes.

Remember, I'm located in America so the pattern abbreviations are accordingly so. And, as usual, I'm sharing these patterns in good faith. Please don't sell the pattern or any product made from it. Thanks!

What you'll need:

  • Thinner yarn (Green, Blue, Yellow, Red)
  • 3.5 mm (E) hook
  • Scissors
  • Stitch marker
  • Yarn needle
  • Closure (snaps or velcro) for the back
  • Optional: Buttons for eyes

 Abbreviations:

  • MAR = magic adjustable ring 
  • st = stitch
  • sc = single crochet
  • dc = double crochet
  • sl st = slip stitch 
  • hdc = half double stitch
  • tr = treble crochet
  • inc = increase stitch
  • inv dec = invisible decrease
  • *...* = repeat inside as indicated

DIY Clothes Pattern (Part 1)

Image
 Okay. I really, really hope this works. This is my first times making some printable patterns, so there's probably going to be some hiccups. Let me know in the comments and I will try to figure it out. These should fit onto a 8.5" x 11" sheet of paper each, for scale. These patterns are designed with a very small seam allowance. (The collars of the shirts even more so.) You can make clothes by hand-sewing or use a machine. The hems are only one fold vs. the regular double-fold. Just makes it easier to handle. But this also means you're not going to want to use fabric that will fray a lot. For notions you will need 1/4" elastic black/white and some velcro. I bought a 2" thick velcro and then cut it into tiny 1/4" strips for the shirts. Show me your cute designs made with these patterns. I'm thinking of sharing some every now and then here on the blog as a showcase. Remember, you can also share on Instagram to @disneynuimosdiy.  Have fun creating!

New Dress Patterns And Tutorial

Image
It's been a long time coming, but here are some new sewing patterns! I posted a sneak peek on my Instagram about a month ago and I finally got around to making some for the tutorial. These are two new dresses. I'm calling them a Wrap Dress and a Empire Waist Dress. The Wrap Dress is a completely new dress while the Empire Waist Dress is made just like the gathered dress I did earlier, so follow the tutorial for this dress here . The only difference is that didn't make the skirt portion as poofy. I know it can be hard to print these off. I may have a new way to share these but I'm not sure yet. So, for now, save the image and print to fill the whole page. The page size I've based these on should be 8.5" x 11". Please remember anything you make if just for personal use. Don't resell these patterns as your own or sell finished pieces made from these patterns. Thanks. =) WRAP DRESS TUTORIAL Here's What You'll Need: Fabric Thread Velcro (or other cl...

nuiMOs Sorcerer Mickey Outfit (And Shoes)

Image
It's time for a new pattern! This is one that I've been wanting to make for some time now and I finally got around to making it. I thought it would adorable to see Mickey in his Sorcerer's Apprentice outfit and, boy, was I right! The fabric I had turned out to be little tricky but in the end it worked out.  Please remember that I'm sharing these patterns in good faith. Don't use these patterns for selling purposes. These are for personal use only. Adobe did something weird when enabling editing on the photo, lol. Shoe here are the patterns to make his outfit. I made a shoe pattern because he has brown shoes and I didn't purchase any of that color. As it says, there are two patterns on there and I used the bottom set. And then for the sorcerer robe you will have to print out the jacket pattern available with the first set of patterns . You'll need to have a front, the two backs, and two sleeves. And now onto the tutorial!     The first step is to, of course, ...
