Loved this fabric that I found at IKEA and wondered how to turn it into something great. I decided to make a bag for Nana's new red walker. While Nana has gone through a lot over these past few months she is still the hippest 90 year old that I know, so I knew she could pull off sporting this fabric.
The simple button tab design is meant to hang over the bar of the walker leaving hands free so that Nana can wave at all of her friends as she strolls along.
Since I didn't have a pattern and the one I found on line cost $40.00 (that's right, 40 American dollars for a sewing pattern!) I made the somewhat poor decision to perform a crazy make 'em up of my own. For this I paid a heavy price in the form of "what the heck did I do that for" and "where in the hell did I put my seam ripper?". In the interest of saving the few people who might read this (whom I love dearly), and the one person (whom I love madly!) who might actually make this the same trouble that I encountered, I have decided not to include the directions at this time and instead make another bag incorporating the changes I would make had I only known better. So, check back for directions on how to make this bag. I promise I will post it in the NEAR future.
The inner pocket is the perfect size for magazines. The two pockets in front are slightly different from each other in size to accommodate a cell phone, water bottle, paperback novel, eye glasses, or Nana's I-Pad! Maybe this would make a great stroller bag too?? Stay tuned!
Disco, Rock and Roll Nana! So happy you are doing better.
Cute! I love the fabric and the new layout. Probably change the lettering to black on the photo, but otherwise, this is very nice. :3
