Here are a few walker bags, I have been making for the local Veterns in our Nursing home/VA Hospital Nursing Unit.
a few of the completed walker bags [ATTACH=CONFIG]154291[/ATTACH] open flat, bags will fold over the top rail of the walker.Giving one large pocket on one side, and two small pockes on the front side. [ATTACH=CONFIG]154803[/ATTACH] |
That is the sweetest thing!

Those are fantastic!! Is this your own design, or is it from a pattern? :wink:
|
Thank you for remembering these wonderful veterans. They are the forgotten ones. We can never give enough to the VETERANS of our country.

Looks maybe like a "tutorial" could be in the making for this item. I wouldn't mind making some to give to our local Vet's home.
My mom had made some using old pairs of jeans somehow ... I wonder if she'd remember...thanks for reminding me of them too. |
I downloaded a pattern and then modified it to my liking. It is very easy. Basic patter calls for just cut one 24x13 inch retangle and two 13x8inch ( for the pockets). the pattern called for velcro, but that stuff is nasty after a while.So, I opted to use heavy no sew snaps. Because my fabric was lightwt, I decided to quilt the pocket to bulk it up. I also doubled the 24x13 to give it two layers. Added the machine emb to brighten it up.
The patter does call for using " sturdy fabric" such as upholstery, denim or corduroy. But I used what I had. Thats why I opted to semi quilt the pockets. |

Great idea! They will love them, I'm a nurse and work in a nsg home, and they love stuff like this to keep their goodies in!

I"m a retired nurse as well, so many bag patterns were so big , I felt they were a danger of tipping over the walker...
