She wanted a bag that could hang on her walker and be a messenger bag when need be. Had to have a flap that could be secured so no one could stick their hand inside zipper area. The main zipper had to open up big. Needed to have inside side pockets for her water bottles, and places for med papers, pen, tablet, headphones, power brick, mini speaker, some meds, and misc girl stuff. An outside zipper for her phone....
These pictures are on my walker. Hers is a smaller walker.
The flap has a angled zipper (she wanted this angle as decorative element) for her phone. I put a small piece of fabric that says love is love as the lining, which I signed. I used those plastic clips that are on school bags to secure the flap and also tiny ones to strap the bag to the walker for easy removal of bag. When the flap is up there is another usable pocket. The main zipper is the kind that opens in both directions.
On the outside back of the bag is a zipper in black so it is unnoticeable. She didn't see it at all. LOL. On the outside sides there are pockets for drinks and misc stuff. The rings are for the crossbody strap to turn it into a messenger bag.
On the inside of the bag are side pockets for her water bottle and crossbody strap. A blue zipper with a deep pocket. In front of this area I added a shorter row of pockets for small items. The opposite side has deep pocket that is pleated on the bottom to give more room for her tablet and some papers.
I was still working on this the night before my flight. I like the way it came out and will be making one for myself. She filled it up after hugging it for a long while. It has to weigh over 10 lbs now! I think she like it a lot!
Now I have to make one for my walker!

Your bag is AWESOME!! Your daughter had so many requests and you managed to make a bag that had everything she asked for. You're a good Momma. I love the owls and that you managed to add a little "love" in the zipper pocket.
ReplyDeleteThat is quite a bag! Lots of useful features and it's so cute. Hope you had a very nice visit with your daughter.
ReplyDeleteFancy bag! My little quilt guild has made walker bags for veterans. Ours are not very fancy. I have a lady at church that I need to make a walker bag for.
