Brompton Cover

Hua ! finally finish sewing 3 Brompton covers for Japan Trip. ^_^
Thanks to Mum who taught me how to set up machine & basics
for Sewing & handling textiles.

First cover i made is really shetty. i threw it away already. not proud
at all about it. good thing i pick up quite fast! from second cover on wards
is pretty acceptable for me already. *Nice*

Me on the sewing machine


The fouth attempt Brompton cover. i am happy about it ! ^_^

Cover features overlapping sides so no need for velcro / string / zipper


Just last week, i bought me self a 40 litre backpack as well. Model is Vertikal Carnaby.
i like it cos it has a zipper that u can use to make the bag into 2 sections internally.
this is useful sometimes for separating dirty clothes from clean stuff. or maybe dirty
stuff like tools ...etc from main compartment.  also features webbing back to help 
ventilate perspiration. for abt $10 cheaper, this feature will be taken out. i think
it is worth the extra dollar. More comfortable too !
