Show and Tell: By hand

Reader Eleniel decided to make a case, but there was just one problem -- no sewing machine about. But that's okay, because DS Fanboy readers are hardcore, so like your intrepid hostess, Eleniel sewed it by hand. It is, however, one hell of a lot better than my work. It's got that fancy new zipper technology. That doesn't mean it's perfect, though; Eleniel confesses that the pocket designed to hold games doesn't exactly hold anything. We still like checking it out, though. And, while on the DIY kick, Eleniel also made an Okami-inspired skin. Might as well go all out, right? You can check out the finished products in our gallery below.

Sweet, well done! It looks like you did an awesome job, especially given the hand stitching. I like the fabric and the loop for lashing on the R4 case. Good work!

omg! XD; Thanks you guys! :3
It's kind of embarrassing now because I've actually learned how to use a sewing machine!

Eleniel, what was used to make the skin? was it just filling in paper i.e. printer paper into the case? or was it something else?
