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.

Labuan Bajo 2023 Part 3 - 3 Days 2 Nights Diving Trip With Chakana Liveaboard

  Photo credit: Lukas Rissing @thestudypacker A live-aboard experience is one of the highlights of Labuan Bajo. It has been on my bucket list for a while but every time I tried to go, something just didn't work out.... until now! The opportunity arose to join an impressive-looking boat this year and the dates matched Miss Kiki's holiday perfectly, how could I not take this rare chance! With less than a month to prepare, we booked plane tickets, accommodations, and whatever equipment we thought we might need. So off we flew to Labuan Bajo with little preparation and a lot of faith. ;) You can read the first and second parts of the trip in my previous posts. After we checked out of our hotel on the third day, we went to the pier and hopped on to a dinghy that took us to Chakana Liveaboard, a 47-meter-long phinisi-style yacht that was going to be our accommodation for the next two nights. My heart raced as we approached the pretty boat and spotted a group of staff excitedly wavi...

World of Ghibli Exhibition Jakarta 2017

A few months back I received an email about World of Ghibli exhibition in Jakarta. My skeptical brain immediately thought, "Aah, how good could it be... I've visited the museum in Mitaka   and it's probably not going to be any better." Fast forward to August, a few of my Japan loving friends mentioned that rumours said that the displays are very good, made by Indonesians in cooperations with Ghibli representatives from Japan. In fact, so good that the Japanese company plans to take the displays and give them a home in Japan. Well hearing this from several different people definitely piqued my interest and I decided to check it out. It turned out that Miss Kiki and DH also wanted to go so I bought tickets from Traveloka  because they had a sale.  In the morning of our visit day, I asked Miss Kiki if she wanted to dress up as Kiki when she goes and she excitedly said yes. I made her a red bow headband with Cotton and Steel's Supreme Solid in Bandana  ...
