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.

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.
