My first attempt at making a custom gear & hand brake boot, dont consider myself a seamstress. Appeared to come out ok.

I reckon a sunlight silver NB with a dark blue soft top looks fantastic.

Exactly like my previous nb.

One of the mean reasons why I decided to go fabric again, although I dont think I would like navy on sunlight silver.

Havent washed it yet, but I dont imagine it would be any different to my previous. I do have a kit which has a fabric soft top cleaner & protector, isnt that time consuming.
