Okay, so with all the awesome DS cases popping, up I decided to make my own. I have fabric left over from a comission, and lining from my purses. I know, I'll make a Black Cherry version of a DS case [Black Cherry being one of my purse colour schemes], and it will be awesome.

So...I cut everything out. Sew everything together, and hem up the edges. Fantastic! It looks awesome, I'm happy, this is great. As usual, I go to test the snap-closure on the cover, to make sure it's hammered in properly and working. It snaps on fine...

And then rips a perfect snap-sized circle out when I try to undo it.

Apologizes for the text only post, but I'm not sure if I want to laugh or cry right now and I don't think I can take a picture because it might just cement the fact that I just wrecked a project. I think I need to take a breather before I try salvage this somehow. [In a way that preferably doesn't require me ripping out every single seam on the outer casing and finding a new snap closure, because I think that was my last one...]
