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.
Thanks, bluteddi. I'm bookmarking this page and am coming back to make one for my MIL who has to use walkers now, and will try to make a couple for my friend whose group sews for the nearest VA Hospital.
You're a super trooper, and thanks for posting your fantastic gift to someone whose spirits will be lifted when they receive it.
