Walker Bag - made for a man celebrating 90 yrs young!! I thought the Hot Rod cars were a terrific (and funny) choice for a Walker Saddle Bag. It hangs over the central bar and ties at the lower sides. Hope you like it, and thanks for looking!

Thanks - I thought the cars were a cute idea, and to my surprise they turned out really nice on the black fabric. My photo isn't so clear, but in reality, they almost jump out at you which is pretty cool!

I like this one too, same question, did you make or purchase the bag? If you made what is the size?

Thank you! See comment in my other post. Size depends on the type of walker, how deep you want the pockets, if/how it folds, and the number & spacing of the center bars. I made one for my mother long ago, and her walker had 2 center bars so I made the bag fairly long for the ties to clear the lower bar. The one in the photo here started with a 48" x 20" rectangle.

Thanks for the info,didn't have a walker to go by,but I understand how to make them.I like your fabric too, is it twill or canvas?

laffma1 by laffma1 23 Sep 2013

The black fabric is a twill, and the pink one is corduroy.

Good job. I was asked to make some walker bags a while ago. It makes life so much easier for people using walkers. as it leaves their hands free.

Thank you! Yes - this will give him so greater independence, as he will be able to do more for himself (which is what he really wants). I can see it now - walker races in the halls!!!
