We live 1000 miles apart, which makes for not too good communication. Do any of you know of a pattern that could be altered for this purpose? I believe what she liked was made out of a jelly roll. So I need a pattern and the suggestion of a good jelly roll that would go with a fuschia wheelchair. I have to shop on line, so I can't tell about colors very well. I did see Daisy Mae by Benartex, but can't tell if it is hot pink or fuschia. Any help would be appreciated. TIA!
Most totes will work on a wheelchair if the bag is wide enough and the straps long enough. You do have to allow for the straps to wrap around the handles or else the straps may slide down the edges. I've made a blue zillion out of jeans and pants. very simple, very quick. Just switch the straps around for use on a wheel chair
