I might suggest using a sturdier fabric such as denim, or upholstery fabric weight as the weight of items put into the walker bag get heavy and might stretch it out. I know my mother had one and she put LOTS of things in it.

And usually only to people who understand we aren't slave laborers here in the U.S.
BUT this comment was from a fellow quilter. :-( :-( :-(

I use to get a bundle of nice drapery material from a company in town who made drapes and pillows. I bought it by the pound. Saved oodles and it helped me and it helped them by getting it out of their way. Worth a try to make something to help the handicapped like me. Pillows for wheelchairs if they are to deep or seat to hard would be nice too.

That walker bag is pretty. I live in a Senior's community and they dont seem to have the funds to purchase anything over $10 it seems. So I really dont think anyone would pay $20 to $25 for them unless it was a daughter or son or friend of someone who is using a walker.
