In the Nick of Time

I just managed to stitch the Mushroom bag. A very good thing since my brother flies out tomorrow morning.



The short drawstrings are as per his request. The inside is a barely patterned black. It actually doesn't close since the batting makes it too fat at the top.

A perfect indication about the eye of the beholder: When I gave it to him I gave him a heads up that the top was very wonky and that the opening was a bit of a tight fit and that the top was wonky. He couldn't care less and was too thrilled by fact that it held his DS and was custom made for him.

Know Your 'Shrooms

What do you stitch on bag for a DS? How about the classic mushroom from Mario? What's that you say? The owner hasn't actually played the classic Mario? Why let that stop you?

My brother got himself a DSlite and wanted a simple drawstring bag for it. I'd been looking for an excuse to stitch up Fiona's Mushroom pattern. A simple thing like my brother not being a Mario player wasn't going to stop me!

I wanted to stitch "Grow up" and "Get a life" (because I think that's funny. My sense of humour is such). But he wanted "Game over"...


No border because then it would be very obvious if I mess up the assembly!
