How to Make a Case for Your DS Lite Games

Step 3 Sewing the Partitions Cont.

So you've done the outer edges, now it's time to do the inner ones. Just as easy, exactly the same. The key is sewing straight lines.

It doesn't really matter which way round you do this. I put two games in at once, pushing both against the outer seams snugly.

Then, I'd remove one game at a time and sew the seams as in Step 2 of this guide.

Then I'd move to the other game and do the same thing.

Before too long, you have an almost finished case. At least the tricky, hard bit is over.

Because I didn't measure and was unsure about the give in the plastic, this left a little gap in the middle. So I cut a piece of the bias tape and shoved it in (using an upholstery needle to ease it in), and sewed it down for decoration. You could use rick-rack, ribbon, or leave it.

Note: Another way to do this... If you allowed yourself a bigger piece of fabric, you could start this project by sewing the sides of the plastic, from left to right THEN do the seam along the bottom, then trim your fabric to size, and that would probably get around the gap issue and make sure the games were still snug.
