Nintendo DS Lite Case - supercute quilted version with storage pockets

Step 7 Bind it off

Make the "quilt sandwich": Lay out the quilted, appliqued piece, right side facing down. Place the piece with the pockets and flaps on top of it, right side facing up. Place the quilted DS pocket, right side up, on top of the right side of the sandwich, tucking the DS flap over the DS pocket. Place a few pins around the edges (pin heads toward the center) to hold the layers together.

Unfold one side of the double fold bias tape. Fold the end of the bias tape in a half inch, and align the rough edge with the edge of the case's front, centering the end of the bias tape on the quit sandwich (photo 1). Pin the tape all the way around the quilt sandwich, and tuck under the other end of the bias tape once you come full circle. (You can miter or curve corners.) Stitch the tape to the sandwich using a half-inch seam allowance and sewing through all layers. Trim the seam allowance to about a quarter inch.

Fold the bias tape over to the inside of the case. Open the zipper and align the beginning of one zipper side with the beginning of the bias tape (photo 2). Pin this side of the zipper halfway around the case. Then, take the other side of the zipper and pin it around the other side of the case.

Flip the case to its front. Stitch right on the binding/case front seam, stitch through all layers. This will catch your zipper in place.

You're done! Make your DS nice and cozy inside its new home.
