revelate nano panniers

wanted the nanos but figured i could make something similar with what i had laying around.
pretty chuffed with these. this was suposed to be a trial run (to pass on to a friend), with the end goal being in xpac with waterproof zip and nice rubbery waterproof 2 way stretch fabric each side of the zip to not stress the zip as much.
this is in PU costed nylon (just incase u couldn't tell by the horrible play school colour scheme), the two zips are similar but not matching. would like to add pull tabs to help with opening/closing, maybe some thin plastic sheeting to help hold the bag away from't wheel (should be ok as it, but no harm in having it), only had 4 cam locks so added two on the top of each bag. to attatch the bottom for now i just have a long webbing piece sewn into the seam, figured i can tie it to the rack. will use a cam lock there also if i make another
slightly smaller than the nano's these will hold a bit under 6.5L each. i want them for autumn bikepacking and winter touring here in northern sweden when all TLS protocol goes out the window.
these weren't super hard to make as the shape/pattern/concept was pretty straight forward. hardest part i found was sewing round curves and the other changes of angles.
more pictures to come once i get it on the bike and its daylight.
