I used a bed caddy to attach to bed rail of a hospital bed. I recycled a pair of denim pants for the backside and fabric for the pockets. It had a long "tail" that is supposed to go between mattress, I guess, but I folded it over the rail and secured with a couple of large safety pins. I looked for the pattern so that I could make another one, but can't find exact one.

Here’s a quick one I made. Approx 24” length by 14” across. Double sided, light layer of fusible. I just guessed on pocket size. Front & back right sides together, pockets inside & ties. Leave a few inches for turning, etc. i staggered diviiding the pocket stitching one in half and the other 1/3 & 2/3( larger pocket worked well for mail, magazines, etc.
if I were to make this again, I would have a velcro flap over one pocket. This stayed in place well when putting in the car. Hope the picture shows up. |
I use a walker. There are two types. One is a folding aluminum walker with 2 front wheels that you push along. There's many attaching by velcro tote bags for the folding walkers. There are a few for the walkers with 4 wheels which are called rollators. It's important that you know which type walker she has. I have both but an attached tote bag on only the folding one.

I've made about 3 walker caddies for friends over the years & they all turned out good. One was the "saddlebag" type & the other two were from this link below (If my memory is right). All of them were appreciated & used. I don't have pictures but remember them being easy to make. It would have been nice to have the walker with me when making it so I could design it to fit but my friends didn't seem to have any problems with the ones I made. One was made from old jeans & it turned out really heavy compared to the others that I made.
I would suggest that your friend send you a picture of the type of walker she has so you will at least have something to go by when making the tote. https://laurassewingstudio.today/tut...r-bag-project/ |
