I got a new Pikachu 3DS XL!! And I've been using the foamy cover that it came in and it falls out in my purse sometimes. So I decided to make a case for it! It's made with canvas fabric, a suede lining and a vinyl flap! :D Nunu seems to like it too. Enjoy!
"Mine?"

This DIY is for the Settlers of Catan fans! It's pretty much an organizer/holder for the number pieces. I have the expansion as well so it fits both sets. It also makes set-up a lot easier, just put the pieces in order from A-Z inside the tube and when you take them out, you don't have to look through them!
So this is pretty much it, very easy, you don't even have to make a sleeve for it.
I did forget to take process shots...but all you need is a Redoxon tube, you can get this anywhere for around $3 and you'll get your Vitamin C! (btw best vitamin C tablets I've ever had)
 I just sewed a linen sleeve on top and stamped on some lettering! Enjoy!

Derpy Charmander! He turned out better than my sketch suggested he would look! I thought he would be too plain, but he ended up being preeeetty cute :)

"Where'd he go?"

I wanted to get a leather dog collar for Nunu, but couldn't find one I liked. I had some vinyl at home so I decided to make one! Here's how it ended up looking:
If you want to make a cute collar for your dog, here's how I did it!
What I used:
-I had an old dog collar I think is from the dollar store, I just took it apart to use the buckle and the 'D' ring.

-Some vinyl!
-Rivet
-Hammer
-Sewing machine or needle and thread!

Here's kind of a tutorial, I did my best in remembering to take pics along the way:
Measured the width of the collar.
 Made a template out of paper first, I just used the same length since it fit Nunu.
Measure out double the width of the original template. Then cut the vinyl with a rotary cutter.
Checked it on Nunu haha he didn't want to put his head up :(
Sewing time! I just folded two sides toward the middle line and clipped them together since pins would leave holes in the vinyl. I'm pretty broke so I made a ghetto hemming guide with cardboard taped to my sewing machine!
Then attaching the buckle! I just followed the hole on the original collar and sewed the 'D' ring on one side.
Between the buckle and the ring, I attached a rivet. It usually has instructions on the package on how to attach it. I just used a hammer to attach it.
I have a leather hole puncher for rivets, so I just used that to punch holes for the adjustable part on the other end of the collar! I didn't take pictures but this is when I also sewed the end closed.
Here it is on Nunu! Hmm...I realized after it gets kind of hidden by all his hair :( oh well, it was a fun project! Enjoy!
"See it better now? o.o" hehe

So I decided to design and make some pokemon plushies this year for AX. I'm going to go classic and only design the first starters from the old versions of pokemon. Here is my favourite that I'll start off with, PIKACHU! He looks very derp but I think it's adorable.
Nunu is getting attacked!

I went crazy at Fabricville (aka Fabricland in Ontario) the other day and bought a bunch of stuff. They were having a 50% off EVERYTHING sale. So I just wanted to test out making stuff with zippers because I've never used them before. Here's a little pouch with a canvas top, suede block on the bottom and a fancy lining. I'm planning on screen printing a bunch of the canvas and making more. It was super fun! Enjoy!
