I make shoulder "shawls" using two pieces of flannel sewn together and put pockets in them. People in wheelchairs like them because they can put their hands in them for warmth and also keep whatever they carry around in them. I made some for able bodied friends to try out and they love them for watching tv or whatever. I made up my own pattern (just two yards of flannel folded in half, right sides together, stitched on all four sides, turn right side out and stitch all around, add contrasting pockets and you are done) Couldn't be easier. I've used both manly and feminine fabrics. I've given them away and also sold them at craft shows. Be sure to wear one at the craft show and demonstrate how they work. Can also use fleece.
