"Who want's to play video games!?"


Also, for those of you who would rather
just buy this, it's available here.
Added a new, and kinda big, pattern to my YouTube this week! So a lot of people liked my iPhone case that looks like BMO from Adventure time so I figured why not add a free pattern to explain how to make an iPhone case made with my pattern (available here by the way) into a BMO iPhone case!

I had to split the video into two, and on my YouTube it's also split into two weeks, so part two technically won't be available until next week, but I figure I'd let you guys have both video's now because I love my followers here so much!!


*Disclaimer: This pattern is only to make the various parts of BMO, and not the iPhone case itself, that pattern is available in my Etsy shop here*
