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.

my 21 yo dd has a walker and could use a cute bag to hang on it. (Shea's taken a cloth purse and tired it on the walker to use). I think $ 20-25 is a fair price.

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. :-( :-( :-( |
try ordering fabric from marshallsdrygoods.com. the store isn't far from where i live and they have great fabric for LOW prices.

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.

I just retired after last 5 years working as a nurse with elderly-most of our folks would not pay that, and often got them donated from churches.

your bag is really georgous but i would save that beautiful fabric for a purse maybe...its not a problem buying from your lqs but it needs to be on sale..actually i would stick to joanns with a coupon..they do have really cute fabrics..i would say go for 18.oo and then maybe you might sell more..good luck

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.
