    I was wondering if there is any such thing as a carrier or bag that could some how be attached to a wheel chair? If anyone has a pattern for somethig like this or know where I could get one? Thanks so much.

    Sewing .org/charitable sewing is the pattern I used. I didnt make the smaller straps, I just made the main back fabric long enough to cover the arm of the chair. I stitched sections to hold various items. My niece said it worked great.

    If it goes over the arm then how does it stay away from the wheels? I would be interested in one that goes on the back for my daughters wheelchair.

    This one would work for that also if you used the straps. My niece is paralyzed on one complete side, so unless someone else moves her, she is unable to take her chair . The bag I made was more so that she could keep things where she could reach them.
