What you need:
very basic sewing skills.a sewing machine standard sewing notions, like thread, scissors, pins, etc. fabric, the amount dependant on size of project. bias tape or fabric for the edges, or anything to decorate it.plastic for the games slots, if you want, but can use fabric.Depending on size, detail, and skill, about 6 hours/weekend?a presser foot that will work with plastic.

Step 1: Measurement
you need two pieces of fabric, whatever size you like, as long as the pieces are identical in size. Figure out how many rows you want, and how many games on each row. As the picture shows, it’s quite large… When closed, it’s 23cm wide x 9cm long x 4cm deep. If you want it more travel-sized, make it smaller.So have the fabric cut to size. Then cut your plastic. If you’re using fabric, then I would use a piece with edges folded in (width-ways) and even maybe use the iron-hemming stuff to seal it (iron-hemming stuff: I think it’s called fusible tape and you put it between two pieces of fabric, or a folded piece, then iron it, then the tape melts, hence you’ve magically hemmed the material). If using plastic, cut to exact size needed, no folding.

step 2Sewing the Partitions
1. Starting on one side,take a DS game and put it in.
2. Push it snugly against the outside seam.
3. Roll the needle down into place (the presser foot lever is up at the moment), giving the game enough room for the plastic to stretch down with the stitches. I think this could be about 2-3mm, but if you’re using fabric you may want it to be tighter. The plastic was quite thick, so I gave it a little room. It’s stretchy, so I don’t think it matters too much.
4. Once the needle is in place, Take the GAME OUT, (you wouldn’t want to damage it would you?), then lower presser foot lever.
Sew and repeat all the steps 1-4 up one side, then the other. See the 2nd and 3rd photo for an example, so that you’re basically doing the outer edges first, not left to right. This is for symmetry.

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.

step 4 Almost There – Finishing Touches and You’re Done!
Now, to finish up. you need to get the fabric for the back. If you’re using padding, etc., cut it to size (the same size as the project).
Put them all together in this order:
1. the games side up, facing you
2. the padding underneath it
3. the backing fabric underneath that, with the nice side facing down (so to test that it’s right, hold it all together, looking at the games side then quickly flip it over. you should see nice fabric, not the bad side.)
