Disney NuiMOs DIY

The last tutorial as part of the patterns I have shared is here. This is to make a cute overall dress. It's meant to be a tight fit since the skirt is based off of Minnie's dress. Here's what you'll need: The overalls front piece Two overall straps pieces One tight skirt piece Thread Sewing Needle Velcro     Hem the bottom curve of the skirt with a one fold hem about less than a 1/4" width.   Now take the overalls front piece and add hems to the sides and then on the top. The second photo shows what the piece should look like when you're done with these steps.     Add the overalls top piece to the skirt when you sew the hem to the top of skirt. Try to center it if you can, if not it's not a big deal. As you can see mine isn't.   Sew the hems on the sides of the skirt and add the velcro.   The finals step is to hand sew the straps to the overalls front and back of the skirt. The placement for the front is easy. You'll have to slip the dress onto you...

Tutorials are on their way! Once I had posted the patterns I made available, I was made aware that some people were unsure how to use them. The purpose of this blog is to help anyone feel like they can take a try at making cute things for their nuiMOs. So here is the first of many tutorials to come. If you want to make a simple, flirty skirt this is one of the best ways to go. It's definitely the fastest item to make as it has the fewest steps. You should be able to do all of these steps either by hand or using a sewing machine. Here's what you'll need: Fabric 3.5" x 12" (or whatever length depending on how full you want the skirt) 1/4" Elastic about 4.75" long Thread Safety Pin       The first thing to do is to cut out everything you need. The above picture is showing how long the piece of fabric will be for the skirt.     The next step is to sew a hem on the bottom part of the skirt. As you can see from the photos above the hem isn't very wide, ab...

 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!
