Walker Bags

Another of my sisters recently had a hip replacement-she is doing great but will need to walk with a walker for a while. So, I made her this handy walker bag. She loves it and says it makes it easy to take things with her from room to room-except she can't take a glass with anything in it-hmmmmmmm maybe I should have tried to add a cup holder to it!

I used this pattern from Quilting According to Annette . My plan for today is to make another one for my MIL.








Yes, the treadmill does get used for things other than modeling sewing projects-occasionally.




This was made from fabric from my stash, I have no idea what the names are. I believe the flowered was purchased on sale at JoAnn's and the pink was purchased for a wall hanging that never got made. I used a lighter pink for the inside, I believe that was left over from the Inspiration Quilt.

I use a walker most of the time now, and carrying a drink is for sure a hassle. I'm looking at designing a messenger bag type carry all that has elastic pockets for a drink. It would have to be covered (like the cups with straws that are all over now) but at least it would be handy!
