I used walker bag # 5 for my original pattern.
You will note the pattern calls for " sturdy fabric" . I had a light wt cotton blend fabric.
So I twice as many of all pattern pieces.
For the 13x8 pockets, I sandwiched some light wt stabilizer between layers of the pocket fabric and lightly quilted it. I did this for both pockets. I added a band of color to the top edges, as binding. ( no need to bind sides or bottom)
The main body piece , ( 24 x 13) I also cut 2
Once I had all my pieces quilted, and embellished ( in my case, I used my emb machine)
I then sandwiched everything.I'll list as I laid the layers down>
1 light wt stabiler if desired ( 24x 13)
1 main body ( 24x13)
place pockets at each end with tops facing towards center
1 main body ( 24x13)
then I stitch all the way around , leaving a 4 inch or so area open, between the pockets was easist.
Turn right side out, taking care to turn both pockets to the same side ( easily fixed if u get one on one side and one on the other.. just flip it to the other side)
I chose to double stitch on of the pockets down the middle to form 2 small pockets
the other pocket I left open, enabling a newspaper or magazine to carried.
Don't forget to top stitch the area between the pockets , catching the open seam area to completely close ur seams.
Again , the pattern called for velcro, I do not feel velcro holds up well in the long run so I used heavy no sew snaps. One on each side about the pocket....as picktured.
tada!!!!! u have a walker bag!
hope this is clearer than mud!!
