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!šŸ˜Š

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.

Japan Trip June 2016 - Part 9 - Osaka

It was a super hot and bright morning and we were all packed and ready to ride the train to Osaka. We had no excuse to take a taxi so we walked to Kyoto Station... It was a rather short ride considering we moved cities, it was still around noon when we arrived at Osaka Station. The AirBnb property I had booked looked close to the station on the map, but it was further than expected. We were so sweaty by the time we got there, mostly because of our backpacks and our suitcases! I was very impressed Miss Kiki carried her backpack without complaints even though it was pretty stuffed by then. Taken from Osaka Station We had to change our wet and sticky clothes upon arrival, and after a bit of rest we decided to head out. First to Tenjimbashisuji Shopping Street listed on a tourist guide just over 1 km away. It was so hot and sunny I regretted not taking a hat for any of us. I was lucky I hadn't forgotten to bring my sunglasses. When we got there, we real...
