In this laboratory we will learn to create your own Backpack and laptop case covers for rainy seasons or snow seasons.
Materials: Nylon fabric (a nylon laundry bag can also be used).
Backpack cover
1.- Cut an area twice bigger than the surface area of you backpack.
2.- Make a cube with the shape of your backpack and sew it as desired, leaven the bottom part open to insert the backpack.
3.- Make 2 lines in the area of your backpack to be able to hold it through the straps.
2.- Wrap the nylon over you shoes
3.- The nylon will be cut as a boot, we will avoid to sew the bottom areas of the shoes, trace lines with chalk for the cuts. Leave 2 lines to wrap and tie the boot.
Note: Use the top of the backpack cover unsewed.
Recommendation: Had a plastic bag to put the cover in after it's use since it may be wet, and you may want to reuse them, and carry it again inside the back pack.
