Purple Gameboy Advance Case

I made this case for my neice, she is going on a trip and doesn't have anything to carry her gameboy in. She picked the color and I used my son's gameboy as a guide and in the pictures.

*This pattern is the first time I made a pattern of my own. This pattern has not been tested - if you find any mistakes, please let me know*
