Nintendo DS Lite Case - supercute quilted version with storage pockets

Moms are people too. Some moms play video games, and really all moms appreciate it when expensive 1.25 inch game cartridges don't get lost. Personally, I like a little bit of cute with my practicality, and this case fits the bill. It has one velcro pocket for the Nintendo DS, one velcro pocket for games, and one velcro pocket for the charger. And, after all those little pockets get velcro-ed shut, the case folds in half and zips closed to ensure that no tiny pieces go missing. Yay! Plus, the case is quilted, which means more padding in case of dropping accidents. The fire flower applique is a complete bonus. It's not functional at all.

Step 1: Materials & Notes

half yard aqua fabric
scraps of red, yellow, white and green fabric or felt
half-inch double fold bias tape
20 inch separating zipper
quarter yard accent fabric (mine is a polka dot)
thin quilt batting (I like cotton)
stick on velcro
thread
sewing maching
scissors
pins
iron

All seam allowances at 1/4 inch unless otherwise specified.

Very nice! I love the flower on the front.

[Feltyfriend]

Ohhh I could make this out of felt! I have a huge stash of wool blend felt.

[tumblingblocks]

This would be so good with felt--you wouldn't have to double layer the pockets!

Your case is super-adorable! I may have to quilt a back-up case for mine now :D
