Dee - will you take a picture of it on the wheelchair today? I would love to see it and how it fits
Thansk for letting me know ....... The staff specifically asked for a bag for the wheelchair... after much research and modifing of a free pattern ( I always seem to modify patterns to make them more effient to produce,easier to make or more user friendly) , this is what I came up with...
I'm a retired nurse, with lots of Nursing home/elder/ handicapped experience and I thought it looked like it would met their needs... Our local VFW ( who I work thru) has a w/c at the VFW club , I plan to try it out tomorrow while I'm there... was a bit unsure of how long to make the ties.....

I'll try to think to take the camera....... LOL everyone will think I'm nuts!!! but , what new there?........ right nwo I have it tied to the railing on our stairs.........
Ideally they will be on the inside of the wheelchair... but if the size is right, I guess they could be put on the outside.... just have to ck for the wheel clearence.

I'm sure if you explain you are wanting to take a picture so you can go home and "study" it to see if there is anything you can do differently to make it better - they will love you you doing that :thumbup:

We freq the place, so " borrowing " their wheelchair wasn't a problem... remembering to take the camera was the issue... Luckily, DH reminded me... it was already packed for the trip to Texas
