    I love it. I am looking for a pattern to make a carry-all bag for a power chair. It is similar to a wheelchair but there are no handles. It does have a small pocket on the back but not large enough to be of much use. Any ideas?

    When DH needed a walker 2 years ago, I didn't have time to think, let alone sew. He ended up with a wire bicycle bag we clamped to his walker.
    handles have velcro on them..sewed on. she is using it to carry her papers and other do-dads. i told her it was big enough for a sleepover!

    no handles or armrests for the sides?
    you could make a lap thing,with the pockets handing over the sides of her lap.. think table topper with pockets on both ends?

    some have made lap quilts, with pocket/envelope type thing at the top of it.

    do you have a picture of it, or make model picture off the internet...so we could get our creative minds working?

    I was wondering how you made it hang on to the walker.

    Clever idea.

    I also like that you put a button on it, so that it could close up some.

    the button is for looks, it is held together with velcro. !

    That would probably work better. Still, I'm glad you thought of adding a closure to the bag.
