I really do appreciate all the responses my topic has received.

I am going to give much thought to all of the opinions, but it goes without saying that I would need to find a more affordable source for fabric and batting to keep the cost down. I need to find the quality of fabric I desire at a better price, so I could price the finished bag accordingly.

If I were to sell them to the facility I mentioned it would be necessary to make each one unique. The residents eat their meals in a beautiful dining room, but after they are seated their walkers are placed near the walls to be out of the way. Each bag would have to be unique so that each residents walker would be easily identified. I also think they would appreciate having a bag that is uniquely theirs. My intent would be to make bags that are suitable for women and masculine ones for the gentlemen.

I think medical supply stores and hospital gift shops are very good ideas.

I have a lot to think about, deciding on how much time I want to devote to this endeavor, and maybe test the market to see if it is even viable.

Thank you, EVERYONE for your thoughts and suggestions. I really do value your opinions. :thumbup:
