I have been using up my fabric stash.....in order to buy some more wonderful fabrics !! It never ends for us quilters / sewers !
Have wanted to do something for our community....so went searching for a pattern to make walker caddies. There were many to chose from, but I liked this one. The only thing I changed was the buttons. Used velcro instead. Took some to one nursing home a couple weeks ago, am finishing up more to take. They are fun and easy to make.
I like this style because it stabilizes the pouch with the tabs around the legs. While recovering from my reconstructive foot surgery last year, I had to use a walker and hop on one leg for two months ! What an ordeal. Just before my surgery I quickly threw together a bag to hang on my walker. Well after only a few days it was surmised fast, that a big bag would be better. Then the darn thing would swing back and forth with whatever I had stashed in it.
This bag for the nursing homes has the center pocket and two pockets on either side. Enough storage and "doesn't swing out." :) That is a good thing.

Wonderful idea for those who need this. The swing back and forth with the elderly could be a problem. It is so wonderful of you to do this for the nursing home.
That is such a great idea. We take gifts to a nursing home every Christmas from our Sunday School Class. That would be so neat to take to those ladies and gents. Thanks for the idea, Valerie
