The listing, Handicap Helpers for Wheelchairs etc Patterns has ended.
I CHARGE SHIPPING. Do you have an elderly relative or a friend with a walker or a wheelchair? These are things they may need. These can be sewed, knitted or crocheted. There are Saddlebags for a walker, a wheelchair caddy, elbow and knee warmers, a bib, waterproof underpants, and waterproof bedpads. Also lap Blankets. The first 3 and the last can be made all three ways. The waterproof things need to be sewed. If you spend some time visiting in a nursing home you will see these things being used. You may make some to donate. One of these items I made for my mother when she was in a nursing home for her last 6 months. The others she wouldn't have neded and some were furnished by the home. I made the walker saddlebage with lots of pockets including a long narrow one for knitting needles in case I'll need it someday too. This is also a NEW pattern never used. Some of the things are simply measured in inches and can be made knit, crochet or sewed to the sizes listed. The patterns to be cut out are for the neck of a bhib and the rest is measured in inches. Also there is a pattern for plastic pants. This one needs to me made to fit the person as there are such a variety in sizes. Make only one first and see how it fits before you make more. Be careful with the plasticc things as the edges of plastic can be sharp-. You may need to cover edes with bias tape.
