Okay, so this sounds frou-frou, but it’s not! I promised Evan that I wouldn’t put lace or ruffles or flowers on his beloved XBox. Just a plain and simple dust jacket, if you will.
There you have it. So simple that you hardly even see it. (It’s on the left, in case you’re wondering.) ;)
I refashioned this slipcover from linen pants that my friend Heather gave me when she found out I liked to do this cut-up-old-stuff-and-breathe-new-life-into-it deal. Thanks, Heather! Love you, girl.
I kept it simple because… I know Evan will never take the time to tie pretty little ribbons in the back. If you were a boy, would you? So it just sits over the front, top, and sides. Nice and neat. :D
Planning to make something like these tonight…

Ooh that’s great! I love it! My husband and I own a video game console repair company and the xbox’s that come in get SOOO dirty and dusty inside. This is a great idea!

What a brilliant idea! I may be borrowing this one.

Genius! I love it!

This looks so great - it’s streamlined and serene and simple and linen!! (My husband just asked what is not serene about an XBox?) Are you sure the flat screen doesn’t feel bad about not having it’s own jacket? Remember Joseph and all that…

Now why didn’t I think of that?!

Hmmmm….. I don’t know how I feel about this. My man-space has been invaded.

Your man-space has been improved. ;)
