Winter Weather got me Bored, Made a Do It Myself Control Head Rain Cover for V3i

[Trooper733]

Sitting inside watching it snow, decided to be constructive, made a control head rain cover for my V3i by cutting out panels from a cordura convention bag, used clear acetate for a window, some Velcro, and fishing line. I cut out the shapes without a pattern, base on dimensions, and sewed them together with a suture stitch using veterinary suture needle holders. I used the bag straps for securing the cover with Velcro closures on the back. It aint pretty but its functional.

Very Nice !! Are you gonna make one for the box too?

G.A.P. Metal,
Thanks, yep same here except I had two other small incisions besides the one in my navel.

I may make one for the box too, it should be easy since the V3i doesn't have control knobs on the box to have to make flaps for.
