Nintendo Switch Sleeve Tutorial



Hi! I'm Kirana from woofkiki.blogspot.co.id. I am going to write an introduction for this blog post.

We bought a Nintendo Switch in Japan.
 I really liked it and played with it almost everyday.
If you're wondering what a Nintendo Switch is, it is a video game where you can basically 
"switch" everything. The joy-cons and even the game! You can also connect it to your TV.
It would be nice to bring it around with you, but when you put it in your bag... Oh no! The screen scratched! So, this is a sleeve that will fix that. Let's get started!😊

Now the tutorial (by Kirana's mom)...

1. Make your pattern according to the picture below. It is basically a 6"x24" rectangle with a semi circle at one end.

Note: this is not a printable pattern

1. Cut your outer fabric, lining, and batting(optional). In this tutorial, I used minky for lining and a pre-quilted fabric for the cover, so I didn't need extra batting. For batting, I recommend using fusible fleece. Tip: trim your batting 3/8" all the way around the circumference. This will make it look neater after it's flipped over.  If you use batting, fuse it to the wrong side of your cover following the manufacturer's instruction.




2. Pin your cover and lining right sides together. Start sewing along the edges, leaving a 4" opening on one of the long straight edge.






3. Clip your corners and notch your curve.




4. Through the opening, turn your fabric right side out.



5. Top stitch the short flat edge about 1/4" from the edge.

6. Fold the short flat side in about 10.5" and pin. Top stitch starting from one folded corner to the other folded corner following the curved side 1/4" from the edge to form a pocket.

7. Put your Nintendo in and mark where you want the button to be.

8. Follow your machine's instruction to create a button hole, attach your button, and voila!

Note: I do not recommend snap button for this project because you will need to press into the Nintendo to close it. If you are still wary about making buttonholes, you can use velcro.

Spring in Egypt Part 9 - Luxor Temple

At the time when we arrived at Luxor temple it was already after dusk and it became a little difficult to take photos. I compensated by setting my camera ISO to 4000 to make tripod-less picture-taking possible even though the grains became more visible. Just like the previous nights, the moon still looked round to me. I wasn't sure which one of those moons was the actual full moon. We walked around the temple first with Michael for explanations about the temple. In the distance we were able to hear the adzan calling the people for prayer. Situated in the east bank, the construction of the temple was started by Amenhotep III, continued and finished by the famous King Tut and Horemheb, and then added on to by Rameses II and finally by Alexander the Great. Unlike the other temples we had previously visited, this temple is not dedicated to a single cult/god. Instead, it is used as a place to rejuvenate kingship. May of the kings were said to have been coronated at this temple. ...

Nasi Tumpeng - Yellow Rice Mountain Recipe

Last week, one of my friends posted a picture from her daughter's birthday with a "Nasi Tumpeng" in it. Traditionally, in Java and some other places in Indonesia, this mountain-shaped rice dish is served for special occasions like birthdays, anniversaries, and other celebrations. Below are some pictures of full blown Nasi Tumpeng platters. From satelitnews.co From bundatwinskitchen.files.wordpress.com From indochili.com Impressed yet? Well, the fore-mentioned friend offered me to come over to her place and learn how to make it so of course I gladly went! I am well aware of my cooking capability (and patience) so we made a much simpler (and smaller) version of it.  For the rice you need: 2 cups uncooked rice 1 cup coconut milk (you can put more or less depending on your preference) 1 stem lemongrass 2 bay leaves (dried or fresh) 2 lime leaves (dried or fresh) some turmeric (powder or fresh) water Here's the how to: ...
