My Second Sewing Attempt

Little Boxy Pouch!  My new sewing machine gives you this little bag to shove everything that comes with it into.  Obviously it doesn't fit, so I made the Little Boxy Pouch by three bears.  I love it!

The changes I made were: added liner, increased the size by a couple inches.

My First Sewing Attempt

I decided making a cover for my Nintendo DS would be easy. The instructor I had at my basic sewing class warned us new people to never attempt sewing without a pattern... but it came out ok!

My first attempt I used crappy cotton cloth, added some light interfacing, and used fleece inside. I estimated the sizes, cut the fabric, and sewed it all together. It looks like this:



The seams don't match up, but I could live with that flaw -- what I couldn't stand was how awful the fabric quality was. It was a fat quarter from JoAnns, and I'm never buying them again.

My second try, ended up like this:



This time I used home dec fabric with fleece as liner. It's much much better and fits my DS perfectly. (It does fit entirely inside the sleeve)
