my daughter is OBSESSED with mickey mouse clubhouse. (thank goodness) it's the first cartoon where she actually sat down and SAT STILL. It was amazing.
anyways..wanted to make an outfit for her birthday--that of course warranted a trip to Joanns. (of course!)
and you are in for some AWESOME tutorials for the skirt...ready:
those are the TWO pictures I took. lol. awesome.
but if you can see by the first picture..I made a MADE circle skirt! I knew I wanted something that a tu tu could go over...so of course the circle skirt. and let me tell you....it took about 20 minutes...top. easiest.skirt.ever. (it helped that my daughter's waist was the same as dana's daughters so I didn't have to do any math!) (go here for the how to!)
Then I took 2 yards of black tulle cut into strips and tied them around some elastic that was sewn together.
easy enough...but in case you NEED a tutorial..HERE is a one. (did I ever tell you this girl is my neighbor...I literally can see into her yard from my back porch. she planted trees so I would stop spying on her.)
for the shirt ...
i was making some salsa....and happened to have the cans sitting on my counter! how convenient for me.
traced around and cut out.
I made a bow and hot glued it onto the black polka dot minnie...then I pinned it to her shirt and sewed it on.
ready for the result: (let's remember that this was for my 3 year old daughter....so this pictures are awesome (said sooooo sarcastically that it's not even funny)
then I whipped out another shirt for my other daughter....I had the circle left over from my circle skirt...
just traced some ears
cut out and put some black fabric behind and stitched it on (loosely so I could remove it to preserve the white shirt!)
stay tuned....cause there is more mickey stuff on the way...so much in fact..you might puke polka dots.

Absolutely adorable! I am a big Disney and Mickey fan myself...can never have too much Mickey! I was home sick with my daughter 2 weeks ago and we cuddled up and watched Mickey Mouse Clubhouse :) She's about to turn 10 and loves Disney and Mickey as much as I do...thank GOODness since my son and hubby tend to get a little "Disney'd out" on occasion!

ReplyDeleteWhat type of fabric is the skirt? Jersey knit? or just cotton?
ReplyDeleteToo too cute!
I LOVE the outfit! My kids are a little old for Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, but we are a Disney family and we LOVE the mouse! We went to Disneyland last month and I made our 3 youngest stuff to wear. My 8 year old son even let me make him a t-shirt! You can see their outfits here - http://adayinthelifeoftrees.blogspot.com/2011/04/were-gonna-have-some-disneyland-fun.html

That is the cutest birthday outfit ever!!! Oh, and thanks for using my tu tu tutorial....by the way, I we planted the trees so the other neighbors would quit staring in my back yard!!! You know what apartments I am talking about!!! :)
ReplyDeleteYou can spy all you want...just don't tell anyone how mean I really am!!!
I did, in fact, finish that with "hot diggity dog..." We actually do the hot dog dance in our house.
ReplyDeleteI love these party posts you've been doing. This outfit is super cute - love the ears.
My daughter's next birthday is totally going to be Mickey. She'll be 3 too!
ReplyDeleteI "borrowed" some mickey paint swatches today, thanks for the idea!
I have a question about this skirt. I really want to attempt this for my daughter's halloween costume, she is in love with Minnie Mouse. Did you attach the circle skirt to the tutu or just have her wear both?
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering the same, if they're separate or sown together?
