Ds A Sketch

A soft case for your Nintendo DS

https://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/ds-a-sketch • Posted by Amy B.

I got this idea from Gizmodo where someone made an awesome laptop case that looked like an Etch A Sketch - only in felt! So I made this mini one for my DS Lite. Pattern for DS Lite: 2 x Red Felt in rectangle 2.5cmx8cm 2 x Red Felt in rectangle 2.5cmx14cm 3 x Red Felt in rectangle 8cmx14cm (cut a hole out of one of the rectangles - mine was 10.7cmx4.7cm) 1 x Grey Felt in rectangle 5.5cmx11.5cm I mainly used these measurements so the buttons I found would look right in the corners. Sew it into a little envelope (see the second picture) and sew on the snaps, buttons, DS a Sketch in gold thread and then use the black thread to etch a little sketch on the grey felt. Voila!
