Removing Donald's and Daisy's Shirts (And Making Them Usable)

Image
I know that there are quite of few of us out there in the nuiMOs community that just wonder, "Why didn't Disney make Donald's and Daisy's shirt removable?" They did it with Minnie from the beginning so I was always curious. Well, I finally got fed up with Donald's And Daisy's shirt being in the way with the different outfits Disney came out with and what I created. It was almost impossible to put them on and have it look right. I sat down and found out that it's a mini adventure doing this. Donald is by far easier than Daisy, and you'll see why. I decided that if I'm going to go through all the trouble of removing their shirts, I wanted to make sure that I could use the shirts again if I ever wanted to. Plus, it's kind of fun to see other nuiMOs wear their shirts. Hahaha. Here's What You'll Need: Small scissors Seam ripper Needle and thread Velcro or other closure Felt or other fabric  DONALD'S SHIRT As stated previously, I bega...

Crochet Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus Outfits

Image
Almost a month ago I crocheted some Santa hats for my nuiMOs. I had run out of my crochet thread I made for Jack's hat and so I had to dress him in what I had available. Well, I finally found some crochet thread at Michael's that was the perfect match! So I finally got to work on making Jack and Sally cute Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus outfits. (Or Mr. and Mrs. Sandy Claws, whatever you'd like.) I'm so happy with how they turned out. I'm going to be sharing the patterns on this blog post, so it's going to be a long one. Take your time when looking over and let me know if there are any mistakes. Please remember that these patterns are being shared for personal use only. Don't duplicate or make any products from these patterns for purchase. Thank you! What You'll Need: Red crochet thread (super fine 1) Fluffy white yarn/material E Hook (3.50 mm) Scissors Needle Thread Crochet stitch counter Velcro, or some other kind of closure  Elastic for bow American Abbre...

Crochet Santa Hat

Image
  'Tis the Season for Holiday crafting! With the lack of Holiday outfits from shopDisney, I knew that I had to find something to dress my nuiMOs. The sweaters above aren't made by me or Disney, they're $3 ornaments from Target! There are four to choose from and a little tricky to put on. You have to start one foot at a time and go slowly to get the rest. I may adjust them to make it easier in the future. Anyway, onto the crochet patterns. That's right, I said pattern s . There are two versions of the Santa hat. One is made with this thin yarn (I think it's used to lacework) that I've had lying around and the other is made with Red Heart yarn and has ear holes put right in so we don't lose Mickey or Minnie's ears. As per the norm, I'm in America so the abbreviations in the pattern are accordingly so; and I'm sharing these in good faith. Please don't use these for monetary gain.  What You'll Need: Red yarn (thin or regular) Fluffy white yar...

Crochet LUCA (Sea Monster) Onesie

Image
  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 = ...

Crochet BAYMAX Onesie

Image
  I had this cute idea for making a onesie after seeing some cute ones on a FB crafters group. The problem was I didn't know which characters I wanted to do. BAYMAX was actually the second character that came to mine and I'll write the first idea right after this one. I decided on BAYMAX because he is simple in design and would be easy to translate to this kind of design. 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 (Two colors if you want yours like mine.) 3.5 mm (E) h...

Crochet Overall Dress

I almost forgot about the pattern for this cute number. I should've created this one before I did the other dresses . This one by far a lot easier than those ones, especially for those just starting out crocheting in the round. 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!

Crochet Hat w/ Brim (or Beanie)

Image
 Now here's a simple pattern that anyone new to crocheting in the round can try. This hat is created exclusively in the round with the exception of the brim. As an added thing, you don't even have to make the brim and you've got yourself a beanie for your nuiMOs to wear. You can even add a little pompom to add to the cozy factor. 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.
