What a great project! Years ago I made a bag to hang on the back of Mom's wheelchair (unfortunately before my quilting days so no picture)....it was mostly for those of us pushing her, but it was nice to have some place to put the little things you just seem to need for a day out, good job! I put a flap at the top that came across & fastened with velcro so if you were in the mall or someplace you could safely have your wallet in it too.

There are so many styles of walkers so you really do need to measure.
Basically, I make an oversized placemat, apply two pockets so one faces my Mom and the other one faces outward. I also attach snaps. It really is very easy to make.

Thanks for sharing, I was wondering if you could do a tutorial for us.
