Pimp my walker/ zimmer frame

A friend asked me to make a nice bag for a zimmer frame/ walker. The owner needed to have somewhere to keep her purse, glasses and magazine. I had the measurements of the space and the metal tubes so I chose denim (which is more durable) and then added some different fabrics to freshen up the design. The buttons are covered in the lining fabric but the are purely decorative.

This is what I came up with:

The pieces that attach the bag to the frame are made using velcro as it gives a very strong hold and I felt it would be easier for older hands to use than fiddly buttons. If I'd had the zimmer/walker to fit it to I would've made it slightly smaller and rounded off the top corners but I didn't realise quite how it was going to fit.

I was informed that Winifred was very chuffed with her new bag, and the pockets do the required thing! It is nice to have something original to customise your wheels!

At first I wasn't sure how to make a walker bag/ zimmer bag. But it turned out to be very simple. But the person using it will probably want the bag to face the other way, so do be sure to make your pockets big enough to cope with being sloped slightly inward, or add a fastening.
