My First Tutorial - Nintendo DS Pouch






Click here to download the PDF, it is 12 pages long with instructional drawing and photos. I would love to here feedback from anybody who makes one, was it easy to understand, could i improve any instructions. You are all my guinea pigs!

I was given a Nintendo DS by my husband for my birthday (one of those presents that you know the giver is just as excited about getting - and using - as the receiver). The first thing I had to do, after I played Brain Train and Sonic for hours, was make a pouch to keep it in.

I posted a picture of it here and Heather asked me to make her one to put in our swap. So i thought maybe there might be some other people out there interested in making one to!

This finished pouch is available, maybe we could do a swap, just leave a comment if you are interested.

Also don't forget to enter my giveaway here, only 3 days to go!.

Very pretty- I love the fabric! Don't have a nintendo myself but I'm sure it's adaptable

Super exciting! I love first tutorials!!! This is super useful too. I usually toss my DS into my bag, I should totally make this! I'll be linking to this project as well.

That is so cool. I have that sparrow fabric, I wish I had the stripe though, it looks so sweet.

It's just beautiful. I'm a bit of a nintendo girl myself- they have lots of unusual fun things on both DS and the Wii
You have a lovely blog,

You must be very clever and crafty. I love it when people can design the perfect thingamy to do something particular.

Hi, I just found your tute via One Pretty Thing - perfect timing, as I need to whip up some quick gifts for some girls in the Uk who are glued to their DS's!

Quick question (from someone who does not have a DS) - what are the measurements of the DS and the games? That would be a handy edit on the tute for those of use who don't have them.

I'm off to cut my fabric now...
